The Town of Brattleboro would like to notify residents, commuters, and local businesses of ongoing traffic congestion and delays associated with the Vermont Agency of Transportation Route 9 paving project.
Although construction activities are currently taking place during overnight hours, temporary roadway configurations and traffic pattern changes remaining in place during daytime hours have created significant traffic slowdowns and backups along portions of the Route 9 corridor.
The Town has received multiple reports regarding daytime traffic operations, including congestion at intersections, extended vehicle queues, and delays traveling through affected areas. Town staff are actively communicating with Vermont Agency of Transportation representatives and project contractors regarding these concerns and are working collaboratively to improve daytime traffic flow and minimize disruptions to the public.
