June 16, 2023

Road Work is compiled from reports from the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTRANS) and the Waterbury Public Works Department.

Waterbury

Armory Drive: The town Public Works Department continues work on Bridge #33 over Thatcher Brook on Armory Drive. This project will extend into the summer construction season. Residents of O'Hear Court and Armory Drive can expect one-lane traffic and possible delays.  

Howard Avenue: The Town Highway Department will have Howard Avenue closed to through traffic on Monday near the Grange Hall for additional road work.  

All town highways: Be on the lookout for highway equipment conducting roadside mowing in areas overrun with invasive species.

Main Street: Street sweeping will be done ahead of the Not Quite Independence Day parade on Saturday, June 24. No additional work is expected on sidewalk and curb repairs yet where utility poles were removed.

Interstate 89 | Richmond 

Travelers should expect shoulder closures on I-89 southbound as crews work on the bridge replacement project on U.S. 2 over the interstate.

On U.S. 2 over I-89, motorists can expect lane closures with traffic control present allowing for one alternating lane of travel. 

Montpelier

Resurfacing U.S. 2 and U.S. 302 continues. Motorists can expect lane closures and alternating one-way traffic between the Middlesex-Montpelier town line to Bailey Avenue and at the Memorial Drive and Bailey Avenue intersection. Flaggers will be present to assist through the work zone. 

Richmond-Bolton

Rehabilitation of U.S. 2 continues with daytime and nighttime work in progress. Motorists can expect moderate interruptions with areas of one-way alternating traffic, Sunday through Thursday 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. between Lemroy Court and the I-89 interchange; also Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. throughout the project. Motorists can also expect to be traveling on some areas of gravel surface between Snipe Ireland Road and Lemroy Court. Project officials remind motorists to please slow down in the work zones. 

Stowe 

Route 100: The project at the intersection of Vermont Route 100 and West Hill Road continues. Crews will install new line striping this week. Once complete, they will place the traffic signal on “flash” to help the traveling public become accommodated to the new traffic pattern. These operations will require lane closures and the use of flaggers. 

Route 108: Also, along Vermont Route 108 in “The Notch” between Stowe and Cambridge, a parking and picnic area improvement project is underway. Motorists may encounter periods of one-way alternating traffic on this route as crews work in various locations. Remember, no tractor-trailers are allowed at all times. 

Special note: Travel to Canada | I-89 Highgate Springs

Travelers to Quebec are advised that Route 133 on the Canadian side of the border is closed between Champlain Road in Saint-Armand and Morgan Road in Pike River until approximately July 15 for the construction of an overpass.

A local detour route is in place for motorists that need to travel to/through communities on the Route 133 route. Oversize and overweight vehicles may NOT use the detour and are strongly advised to seek alternate routes, use other points of entry, and avoid restricted routes.
