Construction Update
Brattleboro-Hinsdale
BF A004(152)
DATE: Wednesday July 3, 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 assist motorists through the work zone.
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES:
Superstructure work continues to advance toward Vermont as the contractor continues formwork for overhangs. Shear stud placement and grouting have been completed and rebar installation will continue in earnest beginning on Monday, July 8th after the holiday. Dewatering and treatment tanks that have been awaiting removal have been tentatively scheduled to be cleaned and taken away sometime next week.
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
