Important Rte 82 Bridge Closure Information

Directions to Avoid Rte 82 Construction

There is a bridge construction on Route 82 which is causing delays and after June 19th will be closed for about two years.

Here is an easy way to drive around that to Peaceful Wolf without adding a lot of time.

This will be particularly helpful if you are coming from Norwich area or Waterford. When you come east on route 82 after coming around the Salem rotary turn right onto Route 11 North.

Go 2.8 miles to Exit #5 – Witch Meadow Road,

At the end of the exit turn left onto Witch Meadow Road.

Go 1.5 miles to the second stop sign and turn right onto Alexander Road.

In .6 miles this will end at Haywardville Road – Turn left.

In 2.1 miles you will come to a fork in the road at Millington Green. There will be a small old schoolhouse on your right and a lovely triangular green in front of you.

Take the left fork onto Tater Hill Road. Go 2.8 miles and then turn left to follow Tater Hill to our location at #85.

Watch for this turn if it is your first time coming here. The obvious continuation of the road is the beginning of Clark Hill Road and will take you away from us.

Warning

Traveling to the school via GPS can cause problems if the program routes you from the south of Tater Hill. Tater Hill is a road that splits and has dead ends with the school on the NORTH side of the split. You must come from the North side of Tater Hill to reach our school. Check the map below for reference and you will see the dead end.
