VT Routes 103 & 131 Intersection Railroad Project

VT Routes 103 & 131 Intersection Railroad Project

This active project is for the replacement of the center pier on Bridge #132 on the Green Mountain Railroad. Work began in mid-January and will continue through the summer. The contractual completion date is October 23, 2026.

The contractor, ECI, has the following tentative schedule (subject to change):

·        From mid-January to mid-April, work will include building the causeway, driving production piles, installing the cofferdams, installing shoring towers, constructing the pier footings, and constructing the piers.

·        From mid-April to early July, work will include shoring the superstructure, constructing the new pier cap, lowering the superstructure back down onto the existing bearings on new pedestals, and removing the shoring towers

·        From July until August, the contractor plans to restore the site and mobilize out.

This work is expected to have little to no impact on Vermont Route 103. The majority of the access will be from Greven Road Extension via an easement.
