Construction Update
Brattleboro-Hinsdale
BF A004(152)
DATE: Friday, June 30, 2023
TRAFFIC IMPACT: Vermont Route 142 will remain closed from the intersection with Royal Road north to the access to 28 Vernon Street until the end of August. Separate signed detours for cars and trucks are active.
Finishing Railroad Track Work 06/25/2023
DETOUR INFORMATION: The truck detour route from VT 142 will be up Cotton Mill Hill Road, left onto South Main Street, continuing onto Fairground Road, and finally back Canal Street. Cars detouring from VT 142 should proceed up Cotton Mill Hill Rd. and make a right hand turn onto South Main St. A turnaround has been constructed south of Cotton Mill Hill Rd. on VT 142 to allow vehicles to safely navigate this corridor. A three-way stop configuration has been implemented at the Cotton Mill Hill Rd. and VT 142 intersection.
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES:
Due to heavy rains overnight Monday and into Tuesday, regular operations this week were interrupted with some emergency repair work on drainage at the Royal Road and VT 142 intersection and adjacent railroad tracks. Permanent repairs to the intersection, existing drainage, and the tracks have been made and with the final clean up of some environmental impacts along the river, this issue will be fully addressed.
Regular construction activities should resume next week with the continued placement of drainage structures along the VT 142 corridor and their corresponding backfill operations. The placement of embankment material should ramp up significantly as drainage structures are complete.
Royal Road Intersection Repair Location
LOCATION:
The Hinsdale, NH to Brattleboro, VT bridge project will replace the existing twin truss bridges on New Hampshire Route 119 over the Connecticut River with a single, new structure approximately 1800′ long. On the Vermont side, the new structure will begin on Vermont Route 142 – about 1000′ south of the current intersection of VT 142 and NH 119. The new configuration will connect to NH 119 in New Hampshire east of the George’s Field Road/NH 119 intersection.
PROJECTED COMPLETION: Fall 2024.
