Sidewalk repair, road paving work begins this week

BRATTLEBORO — On Wednesday, July 27, Tyler Excavating of Vernon begins replacement of a section of sidewalk on South Main Street.

The sidewalk being replaced is between Reed Street and Left Bank Way and should take approximately three weeks to complete. Work will begin daily at 7 a.m. and continue through the day.

Motorists can expect one-way traffic at times with short backups. Finding an alternative route would speed up your commute and help the contractor.

Pedestrians should take care around equipment and follow the route set up around the work, since South Main is a busy and narrow street with a sidewalk on only one side.

Tyler Excavating is also contracted for additional sidewalk work on Birge Street once South Main is finished.

Also, an asphalt overlay of a section of Upper Dummerston Road is set to take place on Thursday, July 28. Lane Construction is contracted for this work including traffic control. Motorists can expect alternating one lane traffic through the day. Work begins near the Brattlboro Country Club entrance and continues toward Meadowbrook Road.

Additional work also contracted to Lane Construction includes a section of Cedar Street, South Main Street hill, Prospect Street, and Washington Street hill. Expect additional notices in the future.

For questions on these or other projects, contact the Department of Public Works at 802-254-4255.
