Please be advised that a portion of Vt. Route 140 in the Town of Poultney will be temporarily closed to all traffic (including bikes and pedestrians) on Monday 3/10/25 from 08:30AM until approximately 3:00PM.
The location of the closure will be between residences located at Vt. 2751 Vt Rt. and 2859 Vt Rt 140. The detour route will be, (west to east) Finel Hollow Rd -> Highland Gray -> Hampshire Hollow -> Rt 140 for passenger traffic. Large trucks and/or equipment will have to wait, or seek an alternate route The purpose of this temporary closure is to install 2- 8’X10’ steel plates across both lanes to protect motorists from a failing culvert, which culvert we will need to replace when weather permits.
The public’s patience and use of caution in the affected area is greatly appreciated!
Respectfully, Road Foreman Joel Roberts
Poultney Town Highway Dept.
