With the milling construction zone taking up to a mile of one lane, a flag person may not be stationed in the exact area to assist someone in pulling out. If there is no flagger present, motorists should wait for traffic flow in the direction they want to go before pulling out.

The construction zone will be marked with orange cones along the centerline.

MILLING:

Milling crews will continue working on the portion of the project between the I91 Interchange and the New Hampshire Border on Route 131 and VT 12. There is a small amount of milling that will take place on Route 5 during the day. Law enforcement will be directing traffic through the Route 131/5/12 while the lights are disabled.

Milling in this area will continue through Saturday, 7/27/13 and finish on Monday, 7/29/13. Paving of the first of two layers of asphalt will be placed Tuesday, weather permitting.

EXCAVATION WORK:

Excavation work will continue between Downer’s Corners and the I91 Interchange.

Traffic Delays – Both milling and excavation operations will require alternating one-way traffic around the construction zone. Traffic control personnel will be present to maintain traffic flow. Motorists should anticipate traffic delays while traveling through the project and plan accordingly. Please allow for extra time in your travel plans.
