A truck dumps rocks on Vermont Route 107 in Bethel. The only state road still closed from Tropical Storm Irene, it is expected to reopen at the end of next week.
VTrans announced Wednesday that Route 12A is open to all traffic, now that the work on two bridges in Roxbury has been completed. VTrans says those were the two remaining state bridges in Vermont that were still closed after the August storm, and that the state is very close to reaching its goal of opening all damaged roads by the end of the year.
Route 107 in Stockbridge is the last of the closed roads, and it could open at the end of next week.
