WEST LEBANON — Motorists on Interstate 89 Northbound near Exit 20 in West Lebanon should expect delays through Thursday as crews work to reroute lanes onto a new bridge spanning the Connecticut River.
The two-lane highway will be down to one lane beginning at the Exit 20 northbound ramp and continue through the Vermont state line, according to a news release from the New Hampshire Department of Transportation. The work will take place weather permitting and is scheduled to be completed Thursday. The Exit 20 northbound on-ramp will stay open.
“Rolling roadblocks will be required to complete the work,” according to the release. “Once the initial traffic shift is complete, traffic will remain in a one-lane configuration to allow for the construction of the high-speed approach to the newly completed bridge.”
The work is part of a multi-year, roughly $46 million project that started in 2020. It is expected to be completed this fall, Andy Silovich, New Hampshire Department of Transportation’s contract administrator for the Lebanon-Hartford bridge project, told the Valley News in July.
“Road users should remain alert while traveling through the construction zone and obey all posted signs,” according to the release.
