Route 7 paving set to begin this weekend

BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - Beginning this weekend, drivers can expect paving crews to be out along Route 7 during the overnight hours.

Crews will be paving side roads and driveways starting Sunday night. From Sunday through Thursday, crews will be out between the hours of 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.

They are starting in Charlotte, in the vicinity of Bown Lane, making their way to the intersection of Swift Street and Shelburne Road in South Burlington.

This is a 10.2-mile stretch and depending on the weather there could be some delays.

Residents and business owners should anticipate loud noises during construction.

The project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2023.
