Road Work | Week of July 6-10

July 2, 2026  |  By Waterbury Roundabout

Weekly Road Work reports are assembled with information from the Vermont Agency of Transportation on projects in the region, the Waterbury Public Works Department, and other local highway departments for projects in Waterbury and neighboring communities as necessary.

Motorists are reminded to drive with caution through work zones and to follow posted speed limits. Speeding fines are doubled in work areas along the interstate.

Bolton

ROAD OPEN: Duxbury Road in Bolton has been opened to single-lane traffic between the footbridge and Honey Hollow Road. 

This pattern will be in place until further notice as crews complete work to repair storm damage to the roadway. 

Motorists should use caution when traveling through this work zone.

Waterbury

Waterbury Highway Department Supervisor Celia Clark said some tree cleanup from Wednesday’s storms may still be needed on Monday, but town roads held up well. 

Other work this week will focus on Waterbury Center with roadside mowing, grading and ditch maintenance.

This resurfacing project between Exit 10 in Waterbury and Exit 8 in Montpelier continues. 

For the week of July 6-10, motorists should expect major delays during working hours due to multiple southbound lane closures. Expect to be traveling on uneven lanes and milled surfaces where pavement is still being put down. 

The schedule for Monday-Friday, 5:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. is:

• Weather permitting, continue installing the final top course of pavement.

• Weather permitting, installation of temporary pavement markings

• Continue installing shoulder material.

The speed limit is reduced to 55 mph and fines will be doubled.

As this resurfacing project gets in full swing, multiple crews are working between Exit 11 in Richmond and Exit 10 in Waterbury. Milling the old pavement is ongoing, as well as paving the first leveling layer of asphalt. Some guardrail work also has begun.

For the week of July 6-10, motorists can expect one-lane travel between Mile Markers 77 and 68, with occasional northbound closures at the U-Turns during working hours. Drivers are urged to use both lanes to the merge point. Anticipate slow-moving travel, traveling on uneven lanes, and milled surfaces. Do not follow construction vehicles into the work zones. 

The schedule for Monday-Friday, 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. is:

• Weather permitting, paving the first leveling course continues.

• Continued guardrail work.

• Shoulder work to include berm removal.

The speed limit is reduced to 55 mph and fines will be doubled.
