Construction work at
the Willow Street/Riverside Drive intersection, which includes the Route 2 East
Exit 5 off-ramp and West on-ramp, is expected to continue into September. This
may affect campus access to Goodwin College students and employees and parents
of Connecticut River Academy (CTRA) and Riverside Magnet School (RMS).
Following are tips for navigating the neighborhood. Access may change daily
depending on the construction. Use these general guidelines, but watch for
on-site signage with specific instructions. The construction company will
attempt to time setting up detours after 8 a.m. and removing them by 3 p.m.
each day. This should help with school buses and parents transporting students
to and from CTRA and RMS.
Morning

exit and proceed to light. Turn right on Main Street. Go to second traffic

RMS (grades 2 & 3) and Goodwin College. Turn right onto Riverside Drive for
CTRA.
Evening
