Winhall board hears permitting, traffic plan for Stratton Access Road repairs
Summary
Contractor and select board members discussed State and USACE permitting, traffic control (one‑way alternating flows for about 10 weeks) and guardrail reuse for Stratton Access Road culvert work; Hunter Excavating will revise design sketches for permitting.
During the July 10 emergency meeting, Hunter Excavating and Select Board members detailed the permitting and traffic control requirements for the Stratton Access Road culvert work. The contractor said both Culverts #42 and #43 will require State and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permits; permanent and temporary impacts will determine which permits and how long processing will take.
Board members discussed traffic staging and safety measures: traffic will be one‑way down Lower Taylor Hill and one‑way up the Access Road (single lane) for roughly ten weeks, with a two‑week signage warning to motorists before work begins. The contractor also said existing guardrails would be salvaged and reused where feasible. Andrea Ameden asked specifically about permitting based on the size of earth disturbance; Hunter Excavating agreed to revise the impact design sketch and send it to Town Administrator Lissa Stark to support permit applications.
