TRAFFIC IMPACT AND DURATION: From Monday, March 24, through Friday, March 28, Interstate 89 (I-89) will be intermittently reduced to a single lane in both directions near Exit 17 during off-peak hours: 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. on I-89 northbound and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on I-89 southbound.
The I-89 northbound off-ramp slip lane to U.S. Route 2 (U.S. 2) westbound will remain closed 24/7. Motorists can turn right or left onto U.S. 2 at the signalized intersection.
Motorists should slow down, use caution, and pay attention to road signs while traveling through the work zone.
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES: Next week, crews will mobilize to the project area for the 2025 construction season, install temporary traffic control message boards, signage, and devices, conduct general clean-up, and complete line striping along the I-89 southbound deceleration lane and off-ramp.
Crews will mobilize to the Exit 17 interchange along I-89 in Colchester, VT next week.
