Road work and utility maintenance is ramping up throughout the state, and Essex will experience some of it this week.
Starting Monday, May 3, Vermont Electric Power Company will be replacing an electric transmission utility pole next to VT Route 15 â Pearl Street â as part of its ongoing Essex-Milton transmission line maintenance work. Work will last through May and create traffic pattern changes in the stretch between Susie Wilson Road and the Champlain Valley Exposition fairgrounds.
A section of the exiting Route 15 median will be removed to create a temporary eastbound lane of travel around the work site. After completion of the pole replacement, the median will be restored so the normal traffic pattern can resume. For more information, visit velco.com/pearlstreet.
