Bennington VTrans Announces New Roadway and Bridge Openings
AUGUST 30 - MONTPELIER - The Vermont Agency of Transportation announces that today they have opened five (5) bridges in Bennington and Rutland Counties, and twenty (20) segments of downed roadways throughout the state in response to Hurricane Irene.
These road improvements are spread across the state system, extending from the North on Route 242 in Westfield to as far south as Vermont Route 103 in Ludlow and Chester. The five bridges are in Bennington and Rutland Counties, including two bridges in Manchester on US Route 7, one in Mount Tabor on US Route 7, one in Pawlet on Vermont 149, and one in Sunderland on US Route 7.
“We continue to deploy all our state resources to the effort of responding to and recovering from this emergency situation,” stated Brian Searles, Secretary of the Vermont Agency of Transportation. “Our top priority continues to be establishing emergency access to the isolated communities, while simultaneously developing plans for temporary and permanent repairs throughout the system,” he said.
VTrans is establishing two Regional Incident Command Centers in Dummerston and Rutland which will be activated at 6 am, Wednesday, August 31st. This new structure enables a fully coordinated effort between state, regional, local and federal partners. These centers will bring VTrans resources directly to the affected areas. National Guard and FEMA resources will also be deployed from these Command Centers.
VTrans has also enlisted assistance from the private sector contractors and federal agencies to meet the needs of this emergency and is redeploying personnel from all sectors of the agency to address the challenge.
A current listing of closed and re-opened roads on the state system is below and updates will be provided again tomorrow as available. We continue to gather information on the town road system and will provide when available.
