Project Location: Approximately 300’ south of the intersection with NH 119 and VT 142 between the towns of Brattleboro, VT in Windham County and Hinsdale, NH in Cheshire County over the Connecticut River.

The Brattleboro — Hinsdale, NH project will replace the existing twin truss bridges on NH 119, over the Connecticut River with a new structure approximately 1800’ long.

The new structure begins on the Vermont side on VT 142 approximately 1000’ south of the existing intersection of VT 142 and NH 119 crossing the Connecticut River eventually intersecting with NH Route 119 in New Hampshire slightly east of the George’s Field Rd/NH 119 intersection.

Project Advisory Committee: As part of Public Involvement Plan (PIP) a Project Advisory Committee (PAC) has been enacted because of the significance and complexity of the issues to provide public input to the Project Lead Team (PLT). The PLT consists of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT), the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), consultant staff representing technical advisory staff, the Southwest Regional Planning Commission (NH) and the Windham Regional Commission (VT) staff to facilitate the process with NHDOT serving as the lead project implementer. The purpose of each PAC is to obtain input from committee and to facilitate the flow of information and ideas between committee members, communities, and public at-large.

The Project Advisory Committee (PAC) members are comprised of Brattleboro and Hinsdale town staff as well as Vermont and New Hampshire local and state elected officials, regional planning commission transportation advisory committee members and citizen stakeholders. The PAC serves in an advisory role and is anticipated to be involved with the project up until construction.

PAC activities have concluded since the bridge project is under construction.  For additional information please contact:
