Burlington-Winooski Bridge Project Public Information Meeting 09/19/2023

From VTrans:

The 95-year old Burlington-Winooski Bridge is reaching the end of its service life and no longer meets the needs of the multi-modal community. The project area accommodates over 25,000 vehicles and roughly 300-500 pedestrians and bicyclists per day. This is a drastic difference since the bridge was first constructed to primarily accommodate trolleys.

The overall project includes replacing the bridge and improving the intersections immediately south of the bridge, involving Riverside Street, Colchester Avenue, Mill Street, and Barrett Street. The intersection improvements generally consist of roadway reconstruction and traffic signal modifications, with the goal of improving safety and mobility for all users.

South Burlington East-West Crossing Walk Bike Bridge Over I-89 Workshop 10/13/2022

The City of South Burlington is increasing transportation options to encourage walkable, sustainable downtown development in the City Center next to Interstate 89 (I-89) at Exit 14. The East-West Crossing Project - a bike walk bridge over I-89 - will provide those on foot and bicycle a safer and more comfortable crossing of I-89 and remove an obstacle to choosing to bike throughout the area for many people.

In November 2021, the City of South Burlington received notice that we had been awarded a RAISE grant from the U.S. Office of the Secretary of Transportation for $9.76 million dollars to build the project! This enables the City to move forward with design with support from the VTrans Municipal Assistance Services office and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
