Hello towns

Please spread the word on your listservs and potentially impacted residents/businesses (summer camps!!) – VTrans has a planned 48hr closure on VT113 for a culvert replacement at the Thetford / West Fairlee town line – aiming for weekend of Saturday July 8, 2023 to Sunday July 9, 2023 (closure starting 7am and hopefully reopen Monday morning). Attached is the official detour route along State highways US 5, VT 14 and VT 110, however there are multiple local routes that can be utilized (local routes will not be signed).

If the weather is not co-operating that weekend, the project closure will potentially be pushed to weekend of Saturday July 22 and Sunday July 23.

If you have questions, please reach out to Amos Kempton, Project Manager
