The contractor and Brattleboro DPW are working together to move small message boards to indicate parking restrictions for locations of work each evening. There will not be a parking ban along the street unless work is being done that night. Please see the infographic above for locations of work and parking restrictions.

Construction Activities
Nighttime single-lane closures will be in place Sunday night through Friday morning (July 27 through Aug. 1) from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Work will continue on U.S. Route 5 (Canal Street), Vermont Route 9 (Western Avenue and High Street), and begin on U.S. Route 5 (Main Street). Flaggers will be present to direct one-way alternating traffic through the work zones. Parking restrictions will be enforced during working hours. Motorcyclists should watch for grooved and uneven surfaces and all motorists should be aware of raised utility structures in the travel lanes and shoulders.
Crews will begin to work on adjusting utility structures in the roadway on Sunday night. During this added shift, no milling or paving will be conducted.
Milling and paving operations will resume Monday night. Paving of side roads is planned for U.S. 5 (Canal Street). Mainline paving and milling and paving of side roads is planned for VT 9 (Western Avenue and High Street). Mainline milling of U.S. 5 (Main Street) beginning just south of the intersection with Flat Street is scheduled to begin once the milling of side roads are completed.
Crews will have noise monitoring equipment to measure decibel levels over the course of the evening.
