This will be the last Construction Update until construction activities resume in March 2026. Regular weekly Construction Updates will begin in advance of the crews' return to the site. 

CHAMPLAIN PARKWAY & MAIN STREET GREAT STREETS HIGHLIGHTS:

The Burlington Department of Public Works maintains a construction map containing traffic impacts, including traffic restrictions, roadway closures, and more, for all major construction projects in the Downtown District and the South End. Plan your travel with the most up-to-date information by using the map here.

Traffic impact highlights for the Champlain Parkway Project for Monday, February 2, through Friday, February 6, are listed below:

• Pine Street – Kilburn Street to Maple Street: Potential for lane closures or shifts facilitate the relocation of the pedestrian crossing beacons. This work is anticipated to be completed in one day.
• Future Champlain Parkway – I-189 to Home Avenue: Fully closed, all traffic strictly prohibited.

For more detailed information on construction activities and traffic impacts related to the Champlain Parkway Project, read the Construction Update section below.
