Nighttime closure and daytime lane reductions with alternating one-way traffic of Shelburne Street between Ledge Road and Hoover Street in Burlington, VT
Vermont Business Magazine Starting Sunday, May 22, at 6:00 p.m., night work will begin on Shelburne Street under lane reductions with the full roadway closure taking effect by 8 p.m. between Ledge Road and Hoover Street. Nightly closures of Shelburne Street will continue through the week, Sunday, May 22 to Thursday, May 26, between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
Shelburne Street will reopen to a single lane with alternating one-way traffic between Ledge Road and Hoover Street throughout the daytime hours between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. starting Monday, May 23, and continuing through Friday, May 27. Please note, that the open travel surface will be gravel during this time. Motorists should expect significant delays. During the daytime hours, when Shelburne Street is reduced to one lane with alternating one-way traffic, motorists are strongly encouraged to continue to use the detour route and avoid the area. Delays through the work zone will be significant. Flaggers or a Uniformed Traffic Officer will be present at the intersection of Howard Street and Pine Street to direct traffic.
During the nighttime closure of Shelburne Street, motorists will be directed to use the existing signed detour using Howard Street, Pine Street, and Flynn Avenue. Residential access to Adams Court and Gove Court will be maintained. Flaggers will be present to assist residents through the closure area.
Construction activities include removing the existing road base, backfilling, and paving an approximately 450-foot segment of Shelburne Street between Gove Court and Adams Court. Nighttime activities will consist of excavation and material removal with limited backfill and compaction work. During the overnights, crews will work to minimize light and noise disruptions to the extent possible. Compaction and backfilling will be completed during the daytime hours. This work will require temporary driveway closures along Shelburne Street. S.D. Ireland will notify residents impacted by this work directly. Access to businesses within the closure area will be maintained, however, patrons should expect delays when traveling through the work zone.
The completion of this work will significantly improve roadway surface conditions and shorten the duration this work would otherwise require without the road closure along Shelburne Street.

The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) and the Burlington Department of Public Works (Burlington DPW), as part of the Shelburne Street Roundabout Project, are improving roadway intersection conditions for all users at US Route 7 (South Willard Street), US ALT Route 7 (Shelburne Street), Ledge Road and Locust Street by constructing a single-lane roundabout. Furthermore, the project will improve signage, street lighting, drainage, stormwater runoff treatment, and relocate and consolidate utility transmissions underground.
