Remote Public Information Meeting: Tuesday, August 11, 2020 at 6:30 PM
This meeting will be conducted using Zoom. You can find meeting login information by clicking the "Meeting Invitation" button at the bottom of this notice.
The meeting will be open at approximately 6:20 PM on 8/11, and will begin at 6:30 PM.
The purpose of this meeting is to present the public with information on a culvert replacement and associated full road closure on Shelburne Falls Rd. in Hinesburg, VT. The purpose of this project is to remove and replace the existing culvert with a concrete reinforced box culvert.
The closure period is currently scheduled to begin on Friday, 9/11 at 6:00 PM. The road will reopen to traffic by 6:00 AM on Monday, 9/14. A signed detour will be in effect.
Discussion of the scope of work necessitating the closure will be addressed. This meeting will provide information on the construction schedule, detour route, and sources of information during construction. VTrans staff and the contractor will be present to address any questions or concerns in regard to the work being performed for this project.
Planned construction activities:
Crews will be working on Saturday, 8/8 until mid-day. Work being completed will have minor impacts on the flow of traffic.
Installation of the 8” waterline on the northwest side of Route 116 (near the Community Bank) is scheduled to be completed on Saturday, 8/8.
Installation of erosion control/environmental protection measures in various areas of the project will be ongoing as necessary.
The contractor will continue road widening efforts on the southwest side of Route 116. This section of the project is scheduled to be milled and paved on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Milling and paving operations will take place behind the barriers.
Work along the the northwest side of Route 116 (by Community Bank) will consist of excavation, driving sheet piles and preparing the crane pad for culvert work at this location. Work will be performed behind the barriers and out of the travel way.
The culvert replacement along Route 116 will be completed in sections, and Route 116 will not experience a full closure while this culvert work occurs. The road widening along the west side of Route 116 (both north and south of the intersection) will enable the contractor to maintain the flow of traffic while replacing the culvert. It is anticipated that this culvert work will begin in 2 or 3 weeks.
Route 116 north of intersection will have no shoulders, and the temporary lane shifts will remain in place for approximately one month.
Traffic Impacts:
Although the main portion of next week's work will occur off of the travel lanes, single lane/alternating one-way traffic should be anticipated on all roads around the intersection next week. Delays should be minimal.
Traffic control personnel will be onsite to assist with the flow of traffic.
The signed detour will utilize Shelburne Falls Road, Pond Road, and VT Route 116
