Route 143 Update – 9/5/2021

The contractor has submitted paperwork formally requesting to extend the completion date from 8/2 to 11/29. 

The final paving is scheduled to begin on 9/20 and will take 5-7 workdays to complete.  This will be followed by the line painting, slotted pavement markers and the remaining signage. 

Sometime in October we’ll do a final walkthrough.


In a related matter, the Selectboard received a citizen petition which was also submitted to the Department of Transportation (DOT), The Governor’s Office and State Representative Natalie Blais regarding the Mini-Roundabout at the intersection in the center of town. The Selectboard did deliberate on this and concluded we were not able to act as requested in the petition.

Below is a copy of the letter sent to the DOT and the response from the District Highway Director.
