Bristol Road detour traffic control
The Select Board has received numerous expressions of concern regarding speeders, inattentive and inconsiderate drivers on the detours around the culvert construction on Bristol Road.
As many of you may already be aware, we have already asked the sheriff to focus patrols on the detours around the Bristol Road culvert construction.
The road crew has added more signs, and this morning our road foreman, Ben, was able to rent some sign boards, which he intends to put up on Silver Street in Hinesburg, and on Burpee Road and North Street in Bristol, in an attempt to divert traffic from even starting up Monkton/Bristol Road during the construction. He hopes to get those signs put up around mid-day today.
Bristol Road Closing 3 weeks starting Wedesday Sept 9
From our Road Foreman –
“Parker Excavation is beginning work on the Bristol Road culvert project on Wednesday September 9. I know this is short notice but that is apparently the only date that works for them. They will be closing the road and detouring folks for a 3 week period of time.”
The culvert in question is on Bristol Rd between the Monkton end of Hardscrabble Rd and Church Rd, so that part of the road will be closed to through traffic. The detour for Northbound traffic is Church Rd to Mountain Rd, and back on State’s Prison Hollow Rd. For southbound traffic, the detour is Hardscabble Rd.
The plan was to do this earlier in the summer, but with COVID-19 related delays, it was just not possible.
