Vermont Business Magazine The new bridge constructed connecting Brattleboro, Vermont, to Hinsdale, New Hampshire, via Vermont/New Hampshire Route 119 was opened this afternoon.
There is a new traffic pattern that will be active in Brattleboro. Watch for message boards throughout the area indicating where the new traffic pattern is active. Barricades will be set up on Bridge Street to encourage local traffic only. Eastbound travelers to VT/NH 119 will need to turn onto Vermont Route 142 (Vernon Street) and access the new bridge at the new signalized intersection. Westbound traffic on VT/NH 119 will need to turn onto VT 142 north to proceed to U.S. Route 5 (Canal Street).
Pedestrian traffic should continue to utilize the existing accommodations on the truss bridges. The new bridge will remain closed to pedestrians until the Spring of 2025 due to continued contractor operations within the work zone.
Work zones remain active along VT 142, VT/NH 119, and on adjacent properties and roads to the new bridge. Please drive with care.
