PRATT & WHITNEY CONSTRUCTION – WILLOW ST.



Please note that beginning November 9, Pratt & Whitney will be making some changes in the flow of local traffic as part of the construction of its new global headquarters. There will no longer be public access to Willow Street (Cabela’s, Pratt & Whitney Stadium) through the P&W property. This is unlikely to affect traffic on the Goodwin campus, but please keep in mind that delays are a possibility throughout the project, which is expected to continue through late 2017.
