Nighttime single-lane closures will be in place next week on Monday night through Saturday morning from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Work will continue on Vermont Route 9 (Western Avenue and High Street), U.S. Route 5 (Main Street), and begin on Vermont Route 30 (Linden Street).

PARKING IMPACTS:

Street side parking will be unavailable on Western Avenue, High Street, Main Street, and Linden Street from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Monday night through Saturday morning. Friday night work zones are being limited to certain areas so as not to interfere with downtown parking for events and businesses. Please pay attention to nightly message boards indicating parking restrictions. The contractor and Brattleboro DPW are working together to move these boards for locations of work each evening. There will not be a parking ban along the street unless work is being done that night. Please see the infographic below for locations of work and parking restrictions.

This contract is a composite of three separate paving projects with detailed locations listed below. It includes all Class 1 limits of Brattleboro which are typically noted by a sign stating "State Highway Ends" and "State Highway Begins". Work to be done on these projects includes coarse milling (grinding off the top layers of pavement) to a depth of 2 inches and paving a ½ inch leveling course and then a 1 ½ inch top course of asphalt. ADA evaluation of sidewalk and pedestrian crossings, sign replacement, guardrail repair and replacement, center line rumble strip location evaluation and installation, drainage work, and other highway improvements are also planned as a part of these projects.
