Vermont Business Magazine. May 5, 2010 _ The Vermont Agency of Transportation paving expenditure for the 2010 construction season will top $100 million for the first time. Governor Douglas will make a formal announcement at an event on Monday in Sheldon. VTrans this construction season will resurface nearly 250 miles of Interstate, state and class one town roadways with this record funding amount. Douglas and VTrans Secretary Dill will be joined by officials from the Federal Highway Administration, Pike Industries and the Town of Sheldon along Route 105 where the Agency is resurfacing nearly 10 miles between Sheldon and Enosburg.
The governor will also announce that due to the unusually mild winter, VTrans finished the year with a surplus in its winter maintenance budget. A large portion of that surplus will be redirected to the Agency’s paving program to be used by the agency’s nine Maintenance Districts to “level” more than 55 miles of additional roadway in the same spirit of the agency’s very successful Operation Smooth Ride program in 2008.
