VT 142 Royal Road Weekend Work Scheduled

The installation of a 30″ Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) under the railroad tracks adjacent to the intersection of Vermont Route 142 and Royal Road in Brattleboro will necessitate the contractor work 24 hours a day over the weekend beginning Friday, June 23rd and ending on Sunday, June 25th. Residents in the vicinity of the project should be advised that site lighting and construction noise will come from this location overnight on both Friday and Saturday nights. Train traffic will be suspended during this weekend closure period and is scheduled to resume again on Monday morning at 8 a.m.

The RCP installation is a part of drainage work related to the new alignment of VT 142 which includes raising the roadway to meet the new bridge for VT/NH Route 119 over the Connecticut River. VT 142 is currently in the midst of a 90 day closure to facilitate this work with access to Royal Road and 28 Vernon Street having been maintained with flaggers. This part of the drainage installation is not anticipated to have any impacts to local motorists accessing Royal Road.
