The following list of new and continuing projects has been provided by the Vermont Agency of Transportation and local departments of public works.
WOODFORD
An informational meeting about upcoming blasting activities on the ongoing Route 9 ledge stabilization project will be held on Wednesday, July 21 as 7 p.m. as part of the regularly scheduled Woodford Selectboard meeting.
Vermont Agency of Transportation staff and representatives for the contractor will be in attendance to share schedule information, blasting procedures, traffic control measures, and answer any questions or concerns from the public.
The meeting will be held at the Woodford Town Hall, at 1391 VT Route 9 in Woodford.
Meanwhile, a lane shift continues to be in place for westbound traffic (heading toward Bennington). Motorists are urged to reduce speed coming into the project area.
Travel will remain reduced from two lanes to one lane in the project area for eastbound traffic (traffic heading out of Bennington/Woodford toward Searsburg and Wilmington).
It is anticipated that tree clearing will be completed this week, and the contractor will begin removing overburden and brush while continuing to build the access road to the top of the North Ledge work area.
There are no traffic holds anticipated for next week.
The new traffic pattern will stay in place until November. The traveling public should be aware of some truck vehicle movements leaving and entering the work zone.
