Colchester Exit 17 Bridge

Project is for improvements to the US Route 2 and US Route 7 intersection and the US Route 2 and Interstate 89 Exit 17 intersections. Project also includes bridge replacement and corresponding roadway improvements.

The scope of this project includes reconstruction of the bridge structure off-alignment to the north of the existing bridge, reconfiguration of the southbound interchange ramps, modification of the existing northbound off-ramp, reconstruction of all three signalized intersections through the project, and roadway widening to accommodate additional turning lanes at the Chimney Corners Intersection. The Colchester Exit 17 Project was developed in part to address safety concerns that traffic on the northbound off-ramp may back up onto the high-speed travel way of the interstate during peak hours and due to the deteriorating condition of the US Route 2 Bridge over I-89. This project also addresses inefficiencies in traffic patterns at the US Route 2 and US Route 7 intersection (Chimney Corners) and at the I-89 southbound on-ramp. View the Project Fact Sheet
