NORWICH – Weather permitting, the long-awaited construction of a Dunkin Donuts restaurant on State Rt. 12 just south of the city’s limits will be underway within the next 60 days, the franchiser says.

Maine-based EWS Realty LLC President Ed Wolak said he expected the popular breakfast eatery to be open in the spring. All permits have been approved by the Town of Norwich Planning Board and the project is currently out to bid, he said.
