Eversource Infrastructure Project Update


A quick update for Litchfield residents regarding Eversource’s ongoing reliability infrastructure replacement project between Litchfield and Goshen.


The project includes the installation of new wooden poles and wires along the roadway, as well as new steel poles and wires within the existing right-of-way.


Road Work:
One crew has been working along the roadway, beginning on Constitution Way in Litchfield and continuing toward the substation south of Woodridge Lake in Goshen. Eversource has completed the work on the southern side of Milton Road in Litchfield and has now begun work on the northern section in Goshen along Beach Street.


Right-of-Way Work:
A second crew has begun work within the right-of-way. Supreme Industries, a subcontractor to Asplundh, Eversource’s contractor for the project, has started installing temporary matting near 68 Beach Street in preparation for the installation of the new steel poles and wires.


The right-of-way work is currently anticipated to be completed before October 1 on the Litchfield side and before November 1 on the Goshen side.


We appreciate everyone’s patience as this important infrastructure and reliability project moves forward. Please use caution around work areas and crews.
