Old Stratford Road Closes as shrubbery hides highway
Stratford, May 27 Special The old road from Mun street along Academy hill to Broad and Elm is effectively closed after workmen planted shrubbery across its end. The surface is plowed and to be planted with grain seed to eliminate the highway. Residents protested the move, arguing traffic would be diverted to East Broadway, while officials say detours via Broad street or Judson place reduce usage. A detour sign points toward Bridgeport via West Broad.
