One single-lane closure will continue to be in place on U.S. Route 5 in Dummerston with work progressing north. Flaggers will assist with alternating traffic patterns. The work zone will shift from the northbound to the southbound travel lanes and may lengthen over the course of a day to a maximum distance of 1.5 miles. Motorcyclists should watch for grooved and uneven surfaces. Expect delays in this area.

A mobile work zone is tentatively scheduled from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. throughout Brattleboro downtown beginning Monday night.

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.
