Description of the Project
Current studies show that over the past 10 years the US Route 2 / 302 intersection in Montpelier, Vermont has moved from 12th up to the 6th highest accident location in the State with 50 accidents within a period of 5 years. Since these studies were published the Vermont Agency of Transportation, the City of Montpelier and the Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission (CVRPC) have identified this junction as a substandard intersection. In response to this concern, the city of Montpelier and CVRPC undertook a scoping study to identify and evaluate the most reasonable alternative for improving this intersection.
