Essex Junction, Vermont

Design, cost estimates, NEPA Environmental Assessment, State and local permitting, right-of-way acquisition and utility relocations assistance, public outreach, preparation of bid documents, and engineering services during construction for the $6.5 million Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funded Crescent Connector Road project. The project consists of a new segment of roadway that will extend along the east side of the Burlington Spur rail line between VT 2A (Park Street) and VT 117 (Maple Street), and then continue between Maple Street and VT 15 (Main Street) along the existing alignment of Railroad Street. The project addresses long-term congestion at the Five Corners intersection. The Crescent Connector Road will become a bypass around the east side of the Five Corners intersection for traffic that is traveling between Maple Street, Main Street, and Park Street. The project is administered through the VTrans Local Transportation Facilities (LTF) Section.
