CITY STAFF: ACCESS ROAD TO EAST ROCK SUMMIT TO BE CLOSED FOR THE SEASON THURSDAY
New Haven – City officials announced today that the access road to East Rock Summit in East Rock Park will be closed for the season beginning this Thursday, November 15. Today’s announcement was made after considering a forecast for the city that includes the season’s first winter-like weather later this week.
Visitors are still invited to hike to the top of the park and access the summit by foot, but the road to the summit will no longer be open to vehicular traffic. Officials said the access road will re-open next April as weather conditions permit.
This week’s announcement reflects a later-than-usual closure of the East Rock Summit road. Access was extended a few days longer this year to accommodate a longer leaf-peeping season.
