Construction Activities
Canal Street (U.S. 5) — Permanent pavement marking applications will continue next week on Tuesday night. 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.
Western Avenue and High Street (VT 9) — The sidewalk crew and utility structure crew work will continue to make progress on this corridor.
Linden Street (VT 30) and Main Street (U.S. 5) — The structure crew and the town structure crew should be finishing up on these roads.
