Construction Update

Champlain Parkway Project

DATE: Friday, October 25, 2024

DURATION:

Unless otherwise noted, work will be restricted to the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., access to residential and business driveways will be maintained, and all roadway, lane, and parking restrictions will be lifted during the evening hours and on weekends. Flaggers will be present to assist motorists throughout the work zone during active construction hours. Businesses will remain open! Travelers should anticipate segments of rough and uneven driving surfaces and traffic pattern changes throughout the project limits.

CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES & TRAFFIC IMPACTS:

Over the next couple of weeks, crews will work to complete the remaining punchlist items throughout the project limits including the Champlain Parkway between Home Avenue and Lakeside Avenue, nearby side streets including Home Avenue, Lyman Avenue, Ferguson Avenue, Briggs Street, Flynn Avenue, and Sears Lane, Lakeside Avenue between the railroad crossing and Pine Street, and Pine Street between Lakeside Avenue and Kilburn Street. This work may require lane or shoulder closures, on-street parking restrictions, driveway impacts, and changes to traffic patterns. Access to impacted properties will be maintained.

 

Crews will continue general clean-up work including landscaping and cleaning the remaining drainage structures throughout the project area. Sign crews will be on site next week installing the remaining roadway signage project wide. Work continues between Home Avenue and Lakeside Avenue including curb repairs and adjustments, repairing the ornamental fencing along the Parkway, and waterline related  investigation. Corrective paving operations will take place along Pine Street and Lakeside Avenue as appropriate. There is the potential for pavement marking and line striping crews to return next week to finalize roadway markings along Lakeside Avenue and the southern shared use path.



In the upcoming weeks, crews will conduct additional work including the installation of the future bus shelter foundations on Pine Street, modifications to the traffic signals at the intersections of Lakeside Avenue at the Champlain Parkway and Pine Street, and modifications to the signal timing and phasing at the intersections of the Champlain Parkway at Home Avenue, Flynn Avenue, Sears Lane, and Lakeside Avenue to address observations made since the new roadway was opened to traffic. 

PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT: For your safety and the safety of the construction crew and field staff, the Champlain Parkway Project Team reminds the public to steer clear of construction vehicles, heavy machinery, and active construction areas. Stay alert when navigating within the work zone. For all urgent issues or concerns, please contact the Public Outreach Team by phone at (802)496-8956 or by email at info@champlainparkway.com.
