Construction Update
Brattleboro-Hinsdale
BF A004(152)
DATE: Thursday, April 25, 2024
TRAFFIC IMPACT:
The northbound shoulder will continue to be closed all week long and motorists are advised to watch for vehicles entering and exiting the construction site.
Delivery of steel to the abutment site on Vermont Route 142 is currently scheduled for Monday, April 29th, and Wednesday, May 1st. The delivery route is planned to provide direct access from the south along VT 142 from Massachusetts Route 10. Flaggers and Uniformed Traffic Officers will be available to assist with the delivery, however it is not anticipated to require a lane closure. When the steel is ready to be moved from the truck to the bridge, a brief hold of all traffic on VT 142 will be required.
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES:
The temporary shoring tower has been disassembled. The crane has been relocated to the Vermont Abutment where concrete strength on the bearing seats was achieved and bridge shoes were placed. Steel delivery to the abutment will continue to be the priority next week with the final two deliveries scheduled. Once in place, crews will continue with the bolting operations.
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.
Unanticipated delays at a couple of the piers have adjusted the project completion date from Fall 2024 to Summer 2025.
PROJECTED COMPLETION: June 30, 2025
