ROAD CLOSURE
Akley Road will be closed to through traffic beginning Tuesday, September 8 at 7:00 a.m. The road is expected to remain closed at the project location for the remainder of September while construction is completed.
LOCAL ACCESS
Residents and property owners will need to access Akley Road from the appropriate side of the closure:

Motorists should plan accordingly and use alternate routes for the duration of the project. The Town will provide updates if the construction schedule or road closure changes.

The Town of Brattleboro thanks residents for their patience and cooperation as this important infrastructure project moves forward.
