As of November, 2011, Bridges 2.40, 4.02 and 4.12 rate sufficient for freight car weights up to and including 315K without speed restriction on an infrequent basis. 263K and 286K freight traffic may be operated on a regular basis (including unit trains), provided trains with 286K cars not exceed 25 mph over bridge 4.12. 315K freight traffic may be operated on a regular basis (including unit trains), provided trains with 315K cars not exceed 10 mph over bridge 4.12, or 25 mph over bridge 4.02.

The purpose of this investigation was to conduct a structural assessment of the existing bridge, summarize its condition and determine appropriate repair options. On site assessment included sounding the soffit of the concrete arch as well as obtaining concrete cores for laboratory testing. Alternatives presented in this report are potential solutions for addressing concerns about the structural degradation of the existing arch bridge.

The purpose of the Western Corridor study is to evaluate transportation, land use and related conditions and create a Transportation Management Plan that presents a unified, long-term vision for managing and improving the transportation system in western Vermont. As an initial effort to coordinate planning over a vast study area, the plan does not recommend specific projects. Rather, it presents a broader vision and framework for transportation investment policies and strategies. Continuing the ongoing collaboration among the study partners will be key to developing and implementing specific projects and programs consistent with the recommendations of this plan. The plan is being coordinated with the Vermont Agency of Transportation’s ongoing project development efforts in the Corridor, including various railroad initiatives.

This study was generated in response to AmTrack forcasting less service while requesting more in operating subsidies for FY 2004. The leaders of the Vermont House & Senate Transportation Committees wanted to know whether or not there was an alternative to escalating costs projected by AmTrak and to be borne by the state.
