Killington Road preps for paving, will be closed Aug. 19-25

Killington Road from Route 4 to Anthony Way will close again next week for paving. It will close starting at 7 a.m., Monday, Aug. 19 and reopen Monday, Aug. 26, paved with some construction work continuing on the sides, according to Killington Public Works Director Abbie Sherman.

“A lot of the project is starting to close up as we complete the sewer line and drainage line along the edges of the roadway,” wrote Markowski Excavating, Inc. in a news release. “We plan to wrap up the sewer line on Monday [Aug. 12] and decommission the temporary sewer line we installed earlier on. Once connected, expect more sand and gravel to be hauled on site to finalize the installation of the road materials.”

This week crews will also embark on final swale clean up along the western side of the road with gravel hauled in as they prep for the paved walkway and begin installing the retaining wall below Killington Sports. Blocks have been delivered to the site throughout the last two weeks but “we are still limited on installing if fully as the last power pole at the bottom still needs to be moved (currently scheduled for the week of August 26),” Markowski noted.

On Tuesday, Aug. 13, crews began milling at the intersection with Route 4 and the south end of the project near Anthony Way in prep for paving the following week.

Starting Wednesday, Aug. 14, work will extend into Route 4.

“We need to install a 3-foot culvert that crosses Route 4 and ties into an existing catch basin on just short of the Route 100 intersection. Multiple flaggers will be on site, so expect delays as we single lane the road. This will continue through Friday,” Markowski said.

The walway and Route 4 culvert crossing will be paved next week, which will cause intermitted traffic delays.

Pike Industries has been contracted to do the paving.
