Saturday, August 17, 2013 – Crews may be doing some minor excavation clean-up work throughout the project.

Week of August 19^th, 2013

Traffic Safety Warning – Crews are asking motorists who are exiting driveways or businesses on Route 131 to be aware that they may be pulling into a construction zone. With the milling and reclamation construction zones 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.

VT Route 131 – I91 Interchange to Downer’s Corners

Excavation – Crews will continue installing new underdrain from Weathersfield Center Road and Victory Drive.

Reclamation – Crews will continue reclaiming the roadway between Lottery Lane and Thrasher Road throughout the week. Reclaiming consists of rototilling the existing milled pavement leaving the roadway a gravel surface. Motorists are encouraged to reduce speed and use caution when driving over the gravel roadway.

Milling – Milling crews will finish up work either Monday or Tuesday between Golf Road (West) and Downer’s Corners.

TRAFFIC DELAYS – ALL operations will require travel to be reduced to alternating one-way travel around the construction packages. Traffic control personnel will be present to assist in maintaining traffic flow. Motorists should anticipate traffic delays while traveling through the project and plan accordingly. Please allow for extra time in your travel plans.
