  A weekly report from the Agency of Transportation (AOT) lists of planned construction activities that will have traffic impacts on state highways and interstates in the local region. The following are those that affect driving in Rutland and Windsor counties.

I-89 White River Junction: AOT 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 limit reductions over the northbound and southbound bridges.

Hartford: Motorists can expect minor traffic disruptions along VT-14 as crews receive large deliveries of steel for an ongoing bridge replacement project.

Hartland: The Hartland 3 Corners intersection project continues this week with crews completing final pavement markings and traffic sign installations. Motorists may encounter slight delays and are advised to slow down and remain alert when traveling through the work area.

Killington: A bridge replacement project is underway on US-4 east of the Skyeship Gondola. Motorists will continue to use the temporary bridge located just upstream of the existing bridge. Motorists can expect single-lane closures with alternating one-way traffic controlled by flaggers. Drivers should be aware that sections of the roadway within the work zone will be gravel surfaces. 

Killington – A culvert replacement project is underway on US-4 at Spring Hill Road. Traffic will continue to be shifted to the south side of US-4 within the project limits. Motorists can expect single-lane closures with alternating one-way traffic controlled by flaggers. Portions of US-4 will consist of a gravel or scarified pavement surface. Drivers, especially motorcyclists, are encouraged to use caution and slow down while traveling through the work area.

Ludlow: A bridge replacement project is underway along VT 100, 3.4 miles north of the intersection with VT 103. Motorists can expect one-way alternating traffic managed by flaggers between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Plymouth: A bridge deck replacement project continues along VT-100, 1.5 miles south of the intersection of VT-100 and VT-100A. Motorists should remain alert for lane closures and minor traffic delays as the project nears completion.

Poultney: A bridge replacement project continues at the intersection of Thrall Road and River Street where an alternating traffic pattern remains in place. Flaggers will be assist traffic through the work zone. 

Quechee:  A major rehabilitation of the Quechee Gorge Bridge continues. The trail under the bridge will remain closed year-round until November 2025. Hikers will need to exit the trail at the bridge underpass and use the visitor center trail to bypass the construction zone.
