Woodstock Early Bird believes it should be made clear that when we say roads in Vermont are passable, that is literally what we mean. It does not mean a full-on joyride through the countryside.
For example, for those of you who have not yet experienced it, Route 4 EAST from Woodstock to White River Junction is now “experiencing” traffic delays in the area of the Taftsville Bridge. A bank coming off of Route 4 there lost a tremendous amount of bank and heavy equipment is being used to fill in that bank with loads of rock. Bottom line: One lane every 10 to 15 minutes. Passable. Not a joyride. Give yourself some extra time as you “move about the cabin.”
We’re hearing the same along Route 4 to Rutland — even to Bridgewater. Construction equipment is still out there. Workers are still on the job. The road goes from okay to bumpy to torn up to sandy to one lane and back. Welcome to Land-Rover and Jeep world. If you don’t have good struts and shocks…to coin a well-used phrase…It’s gonna’ be a bumpy ride!
