Winooski River Bridge Scoping Study

Year:

Theme:
Bridges
Description:
CCRPC, in partnership with Cities of Winooski and Burlington, and the Vermont Agency of Transportation, completed this study for the US RTs 2/7 bridge over the Winooski River.  The purpose of the project is to improve safety for all users while maintaining structural integrity and continuity of this vital link between the two cities.  Several issues and needs motivated the parties to look at this bridge, including: 1) Addressing the condition of this aging bridge structure as it is in the latter stage of its service life, 2) providing designated safe lanes for bicyclists, 3) continuing the necessary two lanes of traffic in both directions, and 4) improving safety conditions for pedestrians.
