Project Location:  The 1.4 mile project extends along US 2 from Last Road to Danville Hill Road in Cabot. This is a multi-year project with most of the work occurring in 2017/2018. Completion is scheduled for 2019.

Reduced Speed Limit – The posted speed limit has been reduced to 40 mph through the project.  Please reduce speed and use caution traveling through the construction zone. 

Expect traffic delays as there will be several active operations throughout the project.

Week of June 18, 2018

 Traffic pattern change and speed reduction to 35 mph from Last Road to Folsom Farm will be in effect today. Traffic will be using the temporary bridge that was previously installed.

Excavation of the existing roadway will continue from the Folsom Farm and progress west toward Last Rd. 

East of Folsom Farm a crew will be cleaning up stock piles and installing fill and select roadway materials up to the new bridge.  

Demolition and excavation for the new bridge (Bridge 87) 

between Houghton Rd. and Last Road

 will begin next week.

Ditch grading and top soiling will be taking place from the Goodrich property to Danville Hill Road throughout the week of 6/18.
Additional wall blocks will be added to the Goodrich block wall. 

Crews will be working on final slope grading and top soiling from Goodrich property to Danville Hill Rd. after paving at this location has been completed. Crews are scheduled to finish paving from the Goodrich property to Danville Hill Road tomorrow (6/15).

TRAVEL ALERT:  Motorists are advised that a traffic pattern change will be in effect beginning next week at the temporary bridge. The temporary bridge will be put into service and the existing bridge will be closed.  A speed limit reduction to 35 mph will be in effect at the location of the temporary bridge. The remainder of the project remains at the 40 mph speed zone. There are increased fines for speed violations within the construction zone.

Construction vehicles will be entering and exiting the work zone throughout construction hours, and as a result, alternating one way traffic patterns with flaggers will be in place. Brief delays can be expected.
