Another part of Route 4 in Woodstock is about to be repaved. 

On Monday, work will begin on a three-mile stretch of Route 4, located east of the village. The project will start near Sawyer Road and end at the intersection with Route 12 just beyond Taftsville, according to an announcement from the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), which is in charge of the project. Completion is projected for this fall. 

This coming week will involve excavation activities along that part of Route 4, state officials said. There will be alternating one-way traffic there, Monday through Friday, between 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

To learn more about this project, the public is invited to an open meeting with VTrans officials at the July 19 Woodstock Selectboard meeting at 6 p.m. For more information about attending the Selectboard meeting in person or via Zoom, please visit the Town of Woodstock website.

VTrans completed an extensive Route 4 paving project in Woodstock Village last year.
