Old Grove gets face-lift - As the Grove Street/Route 67 project moves along just down the street, one of the New Milford's nearby streets is undergoing major reconstruction. Old Grove runs through a residential neighborhood and also happens to serve as a popular thoroughfare for hundreds of drivers traveling between Grove Street and Route 67. The road has been closed for several weeks now, however, as it is widened and curbing installed. Once the work is completed, Old Grove will be reopened for two-way traffic. The quarter-mile long street will be closed permanently at its intersection with Route 67, however, once the Grove/67 project is completed. Click here to see a map.
