About the Project

This project will consist of a complete rehabilitation of the existing roadway subbase, new traveling surface with modified shoulders to accommodate bicyclists (where feasible), some culvert replacements, guardrail work, ditching, signage, and centerline rumble strip installations where criteria has been met. Additionally, existing traffic signal improvements on existing signals, a new signal at the intersection of Bridge Street.

As an additional project, the bridge (#29) over I-89 will be replaced with a new two-span curved girder bridge. This bridge will be on a new alignment with traffic being maintained on the existing bridge. Some weekend lane closures (NB or SB) on I-89 is anticipated for steel erection and remove of the existing bridge. Work on this will not begin until May 2023 with a tentative completion of September 2025.

Project Fact Sheet

US Route 2 - Richmond to Bolton

The Vermont Agency of Transportation in conjunction with Kubricky Construction Corporation is reconstructing U.S. Route 2 from the Richmond-Williston town line extending easterly for approximately 8.25 miles to approximately halfway between the Notch Road and the Bolton Access Road in Bolton.

During the construction period, motorists should expect traffic flow to be maintained at all times with one-way alternating traffic during construction hours with control present. During one of the culvert replacements, a overnight closure of US-2 will be required. Motorists should also expect to be traveling on a gravel surface during construction.

The posted speed limit will be strictly enforced as the safety of the workers along with the motorists is of the utmost importance. We ask motorists to use extreme caution while traveling through the zone. Please note the fines for speeding within the construction zone will be doubled.


PLEASE USE CAUTION AND FOLLOW THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS!

No traffic interruptions anticipated. Please follow the posted speed limits.


WEEKLY CONSTRUCTION UPDATE:

THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETE!

On behalf of the Vermont Agency of Transportation and myself, we would like to thank everyone for your patience and understanding during this construction project.

We hope you enjoy the improvements, not only for your safety, but also for the smooth ride.

Stay safe and buckle up!
