The following is a weekly report that lists its planned construction activities that will affect traffic on state highways and interstates throughout Vermont for the week of June 30. Most construction projects will pause work for the 4th of July `Local roads in Rutland and Windsor County, include:
I-89 Royalton
Construction continues Monday through Thursday on the I-89 bridges near Exit 3. Traffic is reduced to a single lane. Southbound traffic will use the travel lane, while northbound traffic crosses the median and returns north past the bridges. The Exit 3 North off-ramp uses a crossover to the new ramp. Speed limits are 55 mph in work zones and 25 mph on the Exit 3 off-ramp. The speed limit on VT 107 is reduced to 30 mph with a 14’ height restriction.
Ludlow
Daily lane closures are scheduled for VT 100 and VT 103. Flaggers are anticipated to be controlling one-way alternating traffic patterns and to be staffed in intersections throughout the project limits. Expect delays. Sidewalk detours will be in place as needed. Pedestrians should watch for signed detour routes on VT 103 and project fencing leading around closed areas on VT 100S.
Pittsford
For the bridge replacement project, motorists on U.S. 7 can expect little to no traffic impact. Flaggers may be present to allow for truck traffic in and out of the work area.
Plymouth
The southbound lane of Vermont Route 100A is closed, while the northbound lane remains open and is controlled by a temporary signal. Motorists should expect delays. Full road closure at the bridge site will occur on Aug. 18.
Quechee Gorge Bridge
The eastbound lane closure and one-way alternating traffic controlled by a traffic signal will continue until mid-season when the closure switches sides to the westbound lane. The trail at the bridge underpass is closed through fall 2025. The adjacent trail is open via a signed detour through the visitor center.
Rutland
A railroad crossing project will require West Street to remain closed at the railroad crossing near Forest Street, with traffic maintained via detour routes through Monday at 8 p.m. Local traffic on West Street will be detoured via Meadow Street, School Street, Forest Street, and Pine Street. Through traffic (including trucks) on West Street will be detoured via Columbian Avenue, State Street, and Merchants Row. On Tuesday and Wednesday from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and on Thursday from 6:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., there may be single-lane closures with alternating one-way traffic controlled by flaggers on West Street near Forest Street. Crews will be off-site by 12 p.m. on Thursday for Independence Day weekend.
Woodstock
Detour signs will direct traffic to Stimets Road, an unpaved route located about 0.20 miles north of the junction with VT 12, where drivers should use caution. Flaggers will assist with truck traffic near Log Cabin Drive.
