Woodstock Bridge Reopens Five Days Ahead of Schedule

Woodstock — The bridge replacement project on Route 4 in Woodstock that spans the Kedron Brook reopened today, five days ahead of schedule, officials said.

Truck drivers were forced to follow a long detour since the project started on April 16. That detour is no longer necessary.

Although the bridge has reopened, crews will continue to work at the site for the next couple of weeks, and at times, traffic may be down to one lane over the bridge, according to a news release.

The remaining work includes paving and installing sidewalks and the bridge rail.

The Vermont Agency of Transportation project replaced the 102-year-old bridge using Accelerated Bridge Construction. The project is estimated at $1.6 million.
