Traffic Impacts

Flaggers will be present to direct one-way alternating traffic through multiple work zones. Motorcyclists should watch for grooved and uneven surfaces. All motorists should be aware of raised utility structures and wet paint.
Parking restrictions will be enforced during working hours. Pedestrians should watch for sidewalk detours.
Construction Activities
• Canal Street (U.S. 5) — Crews plan to finish the final pavement this week - completing both the main road and side street applications. Permanent pavement markings will begin on Monday. Motorists should be vigilant throughout the corridor and follow flagger instructions as well as avoid any traffic control devices as they may be guarding wet paint on the road. Pedestrians should watch for sidewalk detours.
• Western Avenue and High Street (VT 9) — The sidewalk crew and utility structure crew work will progress on this corridor as they are available.
• Linden Street (VT 30) and Main Street (U.S. 5)— The structure crew is continuing to work on this corridor. The contractor is hopeful that enough of this work will be completed to begin paving top toward the end of next week.
Crews continue to measure decibel levels with noise monitoring equipment.
