CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES:

U.S. Route 5: Brattleboro-Putney (Day Work)

Crews are continuing to work on the I-91 overpass between Old Ferry Road and Bennett Drive. This will result in a single-lane closure on I-91 beneath the bridge in addition to traffic control measures on the bridge. Concrete repairs will finish during the day. Milling and paving has been rescheduled for daytime work operations and will take place once repairs are complete - possibly as early as the end of next week. Final paint and bridge joints are planned once pavement is complete.

U.S. Route 5, Vermont Route 9, and Downtown Brattleboro

The paint crews are finishing touch-up paint throughout the project limits next week during the night. Crews will also be completing final work items throughout the project including placing topsoil, seed, and various clean-up items.

LOCATION:

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.
