I-91 Brattleboro Bridge Replacement Project Update – Week of November 10, 2013

I-91

Northbound I-91 traffic will be relocated onto the southbound bridge on Tuesday, November 12th. Traffic will remain reduced to one lane in each direction on I-91 until completion of the new bridge in the Fall of 2015.

Night work on the existing I-91bridge will begin on Tuesday night, November 12th and will continue for the next several months, until demolition is complete.

Route 30

The speed limit on Route 30 near the work zone has been reduced to 40 mph. This reduction will remain in effect through August 2015.

Truck activity on Route 30 will continue for the week of November 10th. Route 30 will be reduced to a single lane intermittently; when this occurs, flaggers will regulate traffic flow.

Upper Dummerston Road

No project impacts to Upper Dummerston Road are anticipated for the week of November 10th.

West River Trail

Overhead utility relocation will be completed the week of November 10th, and will be followed by excavation of the bridge foundation near the trail. The trail from the Marina Trailhead to the I-91 bridges will be closed for the week of November 10th and the following week, however, it will be open over the weekend.

Signage at the Marina Trailhead and Rice Farm Road Trailhead will indicate current trail status. In addition, we will keep the project’s website www.i91brattleborobridge.com up to date on the current status of the trail. The Trail is open from the northern trailhead to a point just north of the bridge construction area. The northern trailhead access location is on Rice Farm Road, about a mile south of the Iron Bridge.

West River

Overhead demolition activities will begin the week of November 10th on the existing northbound bridge. Buoys and rope will be placed in the West River to keep boaters away from overhead activities.
