The Vermont Agency of Transportation will be closing the South Bound passing lane of Interstate 89 between MM 73.5 and 74.5 to allow the removal of loose ledge next to the Interstate. Temporary concrete barriers will be installed and the speed limit will be reduced to 55 mph starting Monday March 25, 2013. The lane restriction will maintain a twenty-five (25) foot travel way throughout the work zone. A recent rock fall revealed that there is more loose material that could prove dangerous to the traveling public. A work crew will be ‘ scaling the ledges’ and a catch net will be installed to secure the area. Work is expected to last until approximately Saturday, March 30th 2013.
