BENNINGTON — State and local crews will be taking Monday off in observance of Independence Day, but will be back on the job on Tuesday, making improvements to roadways across Bennington County. This list of new and continuing projects has been provided by the Vermont Agency of Transportation and local departments of public works.
WOODFORD
The Vermont Agency of Transportation’s project to stabilize rock ledges on Route 9 in Woodford continues. A lane shift remains in place for traffic heading west, toward Bennington. The lane nearest the north ledge will be closed in order for work to progress on that side of the project. Travel will remain reduced from two lanes to one in the project area for traffic heading out of Bennington and Woodford toward Searsburg and Wilmington.
This week, a contractor will continue tree clearing and building an access road to the top of the north ledge work area. Intermittent traffic holds may occur during tree clearing operations. Minor delays should be expected at times.
In observance of the Fourth of July holiday, crews will not be working Saturday through Monday.
The worksite is just east of Notch Road in Woodford, about 2.9 miles east of the Bennington-Woodford town line. The project is expected to be completed by the fall.
SHAFTSBURY
Road work continues on Shaftsbury Hollow Road on the replacement of the culvert located by the hollow hideaway. A one-lane temporary bridge will be installed at that location. Work is expected to be complete in September.

Paving of side roads and driveway aprons continues on VT 11, along with bridge joints and shoulder backup. Motorists will encounter one-way flagged traffic in multiple areas, causing delays.

TOWNWIDE – SUMMER MAINTENANCE
Roadside mowing continues this week. Some traffic may be slowed down due to mowing equipment on edge of the roadway.
Street sweeping continues. Sidewalks in downtown Bennington will be swept Tuesday. Some traffic may be slowed down due to cleaning equipment.
Yipes, stripes: A highway crew will paint road markings throughout town this week.
Tree work: Green Mountain Power continues their tree trimming program. For the next five months, Davey Tree Service will be assisting GMP with tree trimming around town.
NORTH BENNINGTON
The North Bennington highway crew will be installing a flashing crosswalk light on Main Street at the McCullough Free Library. Additionally, there will be culvert work on Overlea Road.
