Construction Update
Brattleboro-Hinsdale
BF A004(152)
DATE: Thursday, June 20, 2024
TRAFFIC IMPACTS:
Increased construction traffic is anticipated adjacent to the work zone on Vermont Route 142 while the large crane is disassembled. Motorists should remain vigilant.
Due to current work on New Hampshire Route 119 associated with the project, the eastbound lane shift on NH 119 shortly after traveling over the twin bridges remains active. Signs and barrels are in place to assist motorists through the work zone.
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES:
Work continues to progress toward the Vermont abutment on the remaining overhang formwork, shear studs and grout, and placing rebar.
The large 999 crane located at the Vermont abutment will be disassembled next week and relocated to the construction support trestle alongside the new bridge.
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
