WHALLEY AVENUE CLOSED IN WESTVILLE FROM BLAKE ST. TO TOUR AVE. UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

New Haven - Whalley Avenue is closed to all traffic, vehicular and pedestrian, and will remain closed until further notice in the Westville section of the city, between Blake Street and Tour Avenue. The closure is prompted by an overnight fire at 882 Whalley Avenue, which destroyed the building where Delaney’s Restaurant and Tap Room had been.

Eastbound traffic on Whalley Avenue - heading toward downtown New Haven - will be diverted onto Blake Street and detoured around the site; westbound Whalley Avenue traffic - heading away from downtown New Haven - will be diverted onto Fountain Street and around the site.

A small portion of Central Avenue - between Fountain Street and Whalley Avenue - is also closed until further notice.
