The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) published its weekly report of planned construction activities that will impact traffic on state highways and interstates throughout Vermont, July 22-26 and ongoing.
I-89 Royalton: Work continues on the northbound and southbound I-89 bridges near Exit 3 in Royalton. A new traffic pattern is in effect until fall 2025. For southbound traffic, all vehicles will use the low-speed lane. For northbound traffic, vehicles will cross over onto I-89 southbound and then back to I-89 northbound north of the bridges. Traffic using the I-89 northbound Exit 3 off-ramp will use the ramp crossover north of the bridges to the newly constructed I-89 northbound Exit 3 off-ramp. The speed limit is reduced to 55 mph in the work zones on I-89, and to 25 mph on the Exit 3 off-ramp. The speed limit has been reduced to 30 mph with a 14-foot height restriction under the bridges on Route 107.
I-91 Springfield-Hartland: Multiple single-lane closures will be in place along I-91 southbound from north of Exit 9 to just south of Exit 7 while a paving project continues. A speed limit reduction to 55 mph is in effect through the work zones. Motorists should watch for shifting traffic patterns, and motorcyclists should use caution on grooved and uneven surfaces.
