Interstate 89 paving to begin near Vermont capital

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - With spring arriving, paving season is coming to Vermont’s Interstate 89.

Beginning April 7, paving will begin on an almost 11-mile stretch starting south of Exit 8 in Montpelier to just south of Exit 10 in Waterbury.

In addition to paving both lanes, crews will repair guardrails and work on bridge joints.

The Times Argus reports the southbound off-ramp at Exit 8 will be closed for one night in order to install guardrail.

While some of the work will be done at night, one lane of the interstate will remain open at all times during the paving project.
