Commission approves ~$2M Cambridge bypass culvert application to redirect flood flows
Summary
LCPC approved a resolution supporting a roughly $2,000,000 bypass culvert project in Jeffersonville designed to route floodwater under Route 15 to a wider, lower reach of the Lamoille River.
The planning commission voted to support an application for a Cambridge/Jeffersonville bypass culvert project estimated at about $2,000,000. Staff said the culvert would redirect floodwater under Route 15 into a reach of the Lamoille that runs wider and lower, reducing stress on the village during extreme events.
Tasha Wallace explained the project concept and the board approved the resolution by voice vote after brief discussion. Staff said the grant writer assisting the application has prior experience with similar regional projects; the board recorded its affirmative vote and staff will prepare the application materials for state review.
