Due to weather, paving the final lift of asphalt has been re-scheduled to finish up on Monday and Tuesday next week. The contractor will then pave driveway aprons Wednesday and Thursday nights beginning at the west end of the project and proceeding to the east. Bridge joint work is also planned once final pavement is complete. Delays may be encountered with all of these operations.
U.S. Route 5: Brattleboro (Night Work)
The hand work portion of permanent pavement markings will be placed on U.S. 5 from Noah’s Lane through the roundabout to Old Ferry Road through next week. Additionally, bridge joint work is scheduled on throughout the project limits.
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.
