Construction Update
Brattleboro-Hinsdale
BF A004(152)
DATE: Thursday July 25, 2024
TRAFFIC IMPACTS:
Motorists should remain alert for construction traffic entering and exiting the work zone from Vermont Route 142 and Depot Street.
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 direct travelers through the work zone.
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES:
Formwork for sidewalks and rail copings is still being installed on the bridge deck. The installation of rebar for the bridge deck and the approach slab on the VT abutment will be completed this week. Multiple concrete placements are scheduled for next week for the bridge deck as well as the sidewalks and rail copings.
Paving of NH 119 finished earlier this week. Crews are scheduled to finish guardrail installation by the end of this week. Installation of asphalt curb and the application of pavement markings are scheduled for next week and the traffic pattern will remain as configured through these 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
