I-89 White River Junction – Our partners at NHDOT are working on a multi-year bridge replacement project on I-89 over the Connecticut River. Motorists should expect daily lane closures and speed reductions over the northbound and southbound bridges.
Chester – A culvert replacement project is underway along VT-10 just east of its intersection with VT-103. Travelers should expect short delays with one-way alternating traffic controlled by temporary signals.
Hartford – A bridge replacement project is underway in Hartford on Bridge #7 on the VA Cutoff Road. A 60-day planned closure of VT-14 between Ferry Crossing Road and Christian Street is planned to reopen to vehicular traffic on Thursday, Aug. 31.

The U.S.-4 Bridge #33 over the Ottauquechee River remains closed, with traffic continuing to use the temporary bridge located just upstream of the existing bridge. Mission Farm Road remains closed at its intersection with U.S.-4. Motorists should expect potential intermittent short stoppages along U.S.-4 near the existing bridge.
Killington – A culvert replacement project is underway on U.S.-4 at Spring Hill Road. The phase one detour is open, with traffic shifting to the south side of U.S.-4. The Phase 1 detour is narrow with added curvature to its alignment and motorists are advised to reduce their speed throughout the work zone. Motorists should expect potential intermittent short stoppages along U.S.-4 near Spring Hill Road.

Intermittent lane closures will occur on Monday and Friday. Motorists are advised to travel with caution.
