Due to weather and scheduling conflicts, Route 121 will now be closed in Westminster, Vt., from, 5 a.m to 6 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 16 and Thursday, Aug. 24. Route 121, as it passes under Interstate 91, will reopen on each of these days at 6 p.m.
The closures are necessary to allow the contractor to place concrete trucks in the roadway in order to pour the bridge deck on the I-91 southbound bridge.
A detour will use Route 5, the I-91 Access Road and Back Westminster Road.
On the Interstate, southbound traffic will continue to be diverted onto the northbound barrel. Northbound traffic will be limited to the right-hand lane of travel.
A speed reduction of 55 mph is in place on the Interstate within the project area. Fines are doubled for speeding within the construction zone.
