The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) published its weekly report of planned construction activities that will impact traffic on state highways and interstates throughout Vermont, July 29-Aug. 2 and ongoing. Below are roadways in Rutland and Windsor County that will be affected.
I-91 Hartland: Multiple single-lane closures will be in effect on I-91 Southbound from north of Exit 9 to just south of Exit 7. A speed limit reduction to 55 mph is in effect through the work zones. The on and off ramps at Exits 7, 8, and 9 are scheduled to be paved but will remain open with shifting traffic patterns and reduced speeds. Motorcycles should continue to use caution on grooved and uneven surfaces.
Hartford: Sunday through Thursday during nighttime hours, motorists should expect minimal delays with lane shifts and alternating one-way traffic on Route 5 between Bugbee Street and Route 14. Monday through Friday during daytime hours, motorists should expect major delays with lane shifts and alternating one-way traffic on Route 5 from the Hartford/Hartland town line moving north throughout the week. Flaggers and uniformed traffic officers will be present to assist motorists through the work zone. Motorists are strongly encouraged to plan ahead for major delays, reduce speed, and travel with caution through the work zone.
Hartford: Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., motorists should expect intermittent lane closures on Route 14 between Christian Street and Park Street near Bridge #7 over the White River and Town Highway 98.
Ludlow: Pleasant Street at the junction of Pleasant Street and Mill Street is closed to all vehicle traffic to facilitate project construction. A detour is in place that routes vehicle traffic from Pleasant Street to Elm Street, Main Street, and Pleasant Street Extension.
Pittsford: Motorists are traveling over the temporary bridge. Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., traffic control will be present to allow for intermittent one-way alternating travel on Route 7.
Quechee: The eastbound travel lane on the Gorge Bridge will be closed through fall 2024. A traffic signal permits alternating travel over bridge. The underpass is closed through fall 2025. The adjacent trail is open via a signed detour through the Corps of Engineers visitor center.
Rutland: A resurfacing project is in progress. From Sunday at 7 p.m. to Friday at 7 a.m., motorists can expect lane closures with alternating one-way traffic controlled by flaggers and uniformed traffic officers at night from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. on Route 4 between Gleason Road and Route 7, Route 7 between Cold River Road and Lincoln Avenue, and Business Route 4 between Merchants Row and Route 7. Motorists traveling on these routes should expect grooved and uneven roadway surfaces with raised manhole structures.
Woodstock: A culvert replacement project is ongoing on Route 4 near Valley View Road. Route 4 is open to traffic with a dip in the roadway where the new culvert is located. One lane of alternating traffic is expected Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. with flaggers to facilitate the installation of the remaining box sections. Midweek traffic will be switched back to the temporary roadway during working hours so work can be completed on Route 4. After work hours, two-lane traffic will resume on Route 4.
