The Vermont Department of Transportation announced that a portion of Route 78 in Highgate will be closed for repairs. The closure will affect a one-mile stretch of the road, starting from the intersection with VT-207 and extending eastward.
The closure is due to the deterioration of the road surface, which has created safety concerns for motorists. The repairs are necessary to ensure the road is safe for travel and prevent further damage to vehicles.
Local residents and businesses that rely on Route 78 for commuting or transportation will need to find alternative routes during the closure. The Department of Transportation recommends using VT-207 as a detour route.
The closure is expected to last for several weeks as crews work to repair the road. The Department of Transportation will provide updates on the progress of the repairs and any changes to the closure timeline.
Local officials are urging motorists to plan ahead and budget extra time for their commutes while the repairs are ongoing. They are also reminding drivers to obey all posted signage and speed limits in the area.
The repairs to Route 78 are part of ongoing efforts by the Department of Transportation to maintain and improve the state’s road infrastructure. These investments are essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of Vermont’s transportation network.
For more information on the closure and updates on the repair progress, residents can visit the Vermont Department of Transportation website or contact their local transportation office.
