Pittsford U.S. Route 7 Bridge Replacement Project
AOT Road Construction Report – Week of 4/21/25
This weekly report is a list of planned construction activities that will affect traffic on state highways and interstates throughout Vermont. Please remember to drive safely in all work zones. Lives depend on it.
Interstates:
I-89 Colchester – Improvements are underway at the Exit 17 interchange. Monday through Friday, I-89 will be 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 will remain closed 24/7, with access to U.S. 2 maintained at the signalized intersection.
I-89 Royalton – Construction continues on the I-89 bridges near Exit 3. Northbound and southbound traffic are reduced to a single lane through this area. Southbound traffic will use the low-speed lane, while northbound traffic crosses over the median and returns north past the bridges. The Exit 3 northbound off-ramp uses a crossover to the new ramp. Speed limits are 55 mph in work zones and 25 mph on the Exit 3 off-ramp. VT 107 traffic may be diverted due to bridge work, with a 30 mph speed limit and 14’ height restriction under the bridges. Potholes have developed in both directions on the bridge and will be repaired throughout the week. Please use caution, expect delays, and anticipate slow-moving traffic due to rolling roadblocks during these repairs.
I-89 Swanton-Highgate – Temporary lane closures will be in effect for the high-speed lanes in both directions at Exit 21 while crews work off the roadway on stormwater treatment measures. As work progresses, these lane closures will be removed and a northbound low-speed lane closure will be installed at Exit 21. A temporary speed limit reduction to 55 mph will be in place through the work zones during working hours.
I-91 Fairlee – Permanent lane closures are in place for the high-speed lanes in both directions beginning approximately a quarter mile before the Exit 15 interchange for a bridge deck replacement project. A speed limit reduction to 55 mph is in place.
State Highways:
Bennington – A roundabout project will require intermittent single-lane closures with alternating one-way traffic controlled by flaggers on VT 67A at its intersections with Silk Road/Matteson Road and College Drive from Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Cambridge-Johnson – Wednesday through Friday between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m., motorists can expect alternating one-way traffic on VT 15 between Park Street in Johnson and the VT 15/VT 108 roundabout in Cambridge.
Fairlee – Lane closures will be in place on Lake Morey Road under the I-91 bridge project work zone at Exit 15. Travel will be reduced to a single lane with alternating traffic patterns controlled by flaggers from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Ludlow – A paving project is beginning in Ludlow village where lane closures with one-way alternating traffic patterns controlled by flaggers will be present on VT 100 South during day-time hours. Intermittent lane closures with alternating traffic may be implemented as needed on VT 103, also during daytime hours.
Marshfield-Danville – Motorists should anticipate alternating one-way traffic on U.S. 2 in West Danville near Young Farm Road. Flaggers and Uniformed Traffic Officers will be present to assist motorists through the work zone.
Pittsford – Motorists are traveling over the temporary bridge. Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. traffic control may be present on U.S. Route 7 to allow for construction vehicles in/out of the work area.
Quechee Gorge Bridge – The eastbound lane closure and one-way alternating traffic, controlled by signal, will continue until mid-season when the closure will switch sides to the westbound lane. The trail at the bridge underpass is closed through fall 2025. The adjacent trail is open via a signed detour through the visitor center.
Readsboro – On VT 100 over Deerfield River, workers will install concrete formwork, steel, and sheet piling for temporary abutment along Depot Street and piers on east side of river. Intermittent flaggers will be on-site to manage traffic flow and facilitate movement of equipment and materials.
Rutland – A Class I highway resurfacing project will require single-lane closures with alternating one-way traffic controlled by flaggers from Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on U.S. BUS 4 between Ripley Road and U.S. 7.
Searsburg – On VT 9 approximately 1.1 miles west of the intersection with VT 8, workers are replacing a culvert with a bridge. A temporary roadway with a maximum lane width of 12.5 feet (total 25 feet maximum between concrete barriers) is in place. Traffic speeds are reduced to 30 mph through the work zone. Traffic enforcement will be present at times. Delays are expected.
Williston – Monday through Friday, daytime independent utility work will affect traffic, including shoulder or single-lane closures with alternating one-way traffic controlled by flaggers on VT 2A from Meadowrun Road to just south of River Cove Road, including its intersection with Industrial Avenue/Mountain View Road.
Worcester – Motorists should expect alternating one-way traffic on VT 12 over the North Branch of the Winooski River controlled by traffic signals, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Flaggers may also be present to assist motorists through the area.
