On Monday, June 1, expect tree work near 840 Guptil Road, just south of the Kneeland Flats intersection. Expect delays as traffic will be reduced to one lane while this is under way. 

This work is weather-dependent and could be postponed if conditions are too rainy.

Interstate 89 Southbound | Waterbury-Montpelier

Work continues between Waterbury Exit 10 and Montpelier Exit 8 on the resurfacing project on the southbound side of Interstate 89. 

Guardrails have been installed guardrail at the Middlesex Exit 9 on ramp and the Exit 8 off ramp. Crews have remarked the center line and white edge lines from Exit 9 to Exit 8.

From Monday to Friday, June 1-5, between 5:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., motorists can expect moderate delays due to various southbound lane closures between Exit 10 and Exit 8. 

This week, crews will be working on milling the bridge approaches within the project zone in preparation for the final paving layer to be done. Also, guardrail installation continues. 

The speed limit in this stretch of highway is reduced to 55 mph and fines will be doubled.
