Title 19 Highways
Chapter 1 STATE HIGHWAY LAW
§ 43 State highway closures


19 V.S.A. § 43. What's This?

§ 43. State highway closures

(a) Before the planned closure of a state highway, the agency shall convene a regional public meeting for the purpose of listening to public concerns. The agency shall consult with other state agencies and departments, regional chambers of commerce, regional planning commissions, local legislative bodies, emergency medical service organizations, school officials, and area businesses to develop mitigation strategies to reduce the impact of the planned closure on the local and regional economies.

(b) In developing mitigation strategies, the agency shall consider the need to provide a level of safety for the traveling public comparable to that available on the segment of state highway affected by the planned closure. If the agency finds town highways unsuitable for a signed detour, the agency will advise local legislative bodies of the reasons for its determination. (Added 2011, No. 153 (Adj. Sess.), § 45.)
