Please watch out for a german shepard dog last seen by Goodfellas Restaurant on Rt. 2 east of Danville Village around dusk last night after being hit by a car on Route 2. He responds to a dog whistle and the name Ruger. He is a little over a year old. His owner is Dave Caplan (of Caplan's Army Store in St. Johnsbury) and can be reached at 802-684-9663. If found in bad shape and unable to get in touch with Dave, he can be brought to the Danville Vet located on Route 2 just east of Marty’s Mobile station in Danville.

Work Update

Danville Route 2 Project

Project: Danville FEGC 028-3(32)

WEEK OF 10/17/11

NIGHT WORK:

As a result of a special Danville Selectboard meeting Wednesday Night, ten (10) overnight work shifts have been approved in an effort to complete the water line and storm drain work before freezing weather arrives.

Sunday through Friday nights this week, crews will be working on installing water line and storm drain during overnight hours (6:30pm to 5:30 am) between Highland Ave and the Danville School/Walden Hill area.

DAY WORK:

WATER LINE SERVICES- work on water services will continue along Route 2 between Peacham Road and Walden Hill Road throughout the week.

DUCT BANK - Crews will work on installing duct banks in and around the Village Green.

BLASTING – Blasting and ledge removal will continue on Route 2 near the school throughout the week.

Blasting Schedule (Tentative): Each day between the hours of 6:30 am and 6:30 pm crews plan to blast 4-5 times per day. Exact blasting times within the hours of 6:30 am and 6:30 pm are variable and may change each day.

Blasting Signals: Crews will sound a horn as follows:

Pre-Blast - 3 consecutive signals – 5 minute warning

2 consecutive signals – 1 minute warning

Post Blast - 1 signal – all clear to enter the blast zone

Blasting Traffic Control - Traffic within the blasting area will be held for 5 minutes before the actual blast and then continue to be held post blast until the roadway is cleared of debris and rebuilt for safe passage. Each blast will bring different results so the wait time after blasting is unknown at this time. Traffic delays will likely exceed 10 minutes.
