The South Street Sidewalk Project, which includes the construction of 940 LF of new sidewalk and appurtenance along South Street from the intersection of Main Street to University Drive and corresponding traffic management, is set to begin as early June 25, 2026. This project will overlap with the VTrans Route 4A (Main Street) paving project, which is scheduled to begin in the village area on June 22, 2026. The VTrans contractor plans on milling the road and paving the base layer and they will come back later in the summer to apply the topcoat (riding surface). If the Town's understanding of the project changes, the public notices like this will happen.
The site of the work includes property, easements, and designated work areas described in greater detail in the contract documents but generality located South Street in the Town of Castleton from Main Street to University Drive. The contractor will make every attempt to disrupt normal traffic flow and keep resident's driveways open for use, but there will be a 24 period where residents along that 940-foot stretch will have to park off-site while the concrete sets before cars can drive on it. There is parking along Main Street. There is no on-street parking allowed on South Street.
