Labor shortage slows Hartford roundabout completion

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION The $6.8 million roundabout project on Sykes Mountain Avenue has run into delays stemming from a lack of available workers, according to the project managers.
In an announcement Friday, officials with Hartford and the Vermont Agency of Transportation wrote that there will be “minimal work” done on the roundabouts, which opened to traffic this spring, at Sykes Mountain Avenue and Route 5 over the next few weeks because there aren’t enough subcontractors to work on the sidewalk and curbing parts of the projects.
“Work will resume on the roundabouts and sidewalk along Sykes Mountain Avenue when the crews are able to return,” the announcement said.
