Executive Committee ratifies expedited TIP amendment to keep Burlington–Winooski Bridge on schedule
Summary
The CCRPC Executive Committee formally ratified an expedited Transportation Improvement Program amendment that reallocated funding among related projects to keep the Burlington–Winooski Bridge construction on schedule and allow VTrans to proceed with bidding.
The Executive Committee of the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission unanimously ratified an expedited Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) amendment for the Burlington–Winooski Bridge on Aug. 5, 2026. Charlie Baker, CCRPC executive director, said the amendment reallocated funding among several related transportation projects so VTrans could proceed with the bridge construction bidding on schedule.
"The amendment supports the Burlington-Winooski Bridge project by adjusting funding among several related transportation projects to keep the overall construction schedule on track and allow VTrans to proceed with bidding," Charlie Baker said. Jacki Murphy moved to ratify the prior approval and Joe Segale seconded; the motion passed unanimously, including an affirmative vote by M. Arancio.
The committee discussed using CCRPC’s expedited amendment procedure when state deadlines require action between regular Board meetings. Baker said he will include an explanation of the process in the Executive Director’s report to the full Board at the September meeting so members understand when and why the expedited path is used. No dollar amounts or specific contract awards were provided in the meeting materials.
