After a conversation with Town Manager Dave Pisha, he contacted state personnel. It appears the detour signs are in place if there should be an emergency situation requiring a detour around the bridge work.
Regarding the I-91 bridge work. I’m trying to be informative here, not alarmist. This morning I travelled north on Rt. 5 from Bellows Falls to Chester. Between Sonnax in Rockingham and GMUHS in Chester there are nineteen covered road signs on both sides of Rt.103. I expect some of these are existing signs with a message no longer relevant during at least part of the bridge replacement. However, the majority of the signs are new, vertically rectangular signs with a message we have not yet seen. Time will tell.
