The Vermont Agency of Transportation’s latest construction report reveals a lot of road work happening in central Vermont. The agency reminds drivers to go slow and drive safely in work zones.
Below is the list of projects the agency released in the local area:

I-89 Richmond — A culvert repair project is underway. Motorists will encounter a one-mile-long lane closure in both travel directions just south of Exit 11 as southbound traffic is merged to the northbound lane using a crossover. Please pay attention to signage in the area and merge early.

I-91 Fairlee–St. Johnsbury — Interstate travel will continue to be reduced to one lane in both directions for preventative maintenance repairs to multiple bridges. Speed limit and lane width restrictions are in effect.
Addison — A culvert replacement project is underway along Vermont Route 125 approximately 1.3 miles east of its intersection with Vermont Route 17. Motorists should expect one-way alternating traffic in the area early in the week. The roadway will then be closed at this location from 07/27 to 08/02. During the closure, a signed detour will be in place utilizing Vermont Route 17 and Vermont Route 22A. Please plan accordingly.
