In the coming weeks, a two-person Arcadis inspection team will conduct in-home service line inspections at select Manchester residences. Team members will carry identification badges and wear Arcadis-branded safety vests. If your property is selected for inspection, you will receive a door hanger notice in advance. Please call 860-647-6050 with any questions or concerns.
Due to staffing shortages in the Building Inspection Division, permit processing and inspection scheduling may be delayed. To monitor your permit status, visit the Online Permit Portal or call 860-647-3052. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience.
Railroad History Hike starting at 146 Hartford Road. Hikers will trace the route of the former railroad, built in 1869 to connect the Cheney silk mills to the main rail line in the North End. At 2.5 miles, it was the shortest private freight-and-passenger railroad in the United States. We will start our hike in the South End, heading north toward Center Springs Park. We will see the Town of Manchester improvements at the Park Street bridge and trestle over Center Street. Some of the hike will be along roads. About 3 miles round trip. Extreme weather cancels. No dogs, please. Free. Explore the rail trail on your own with this self-guiding map.
