An act relating to the removal of the pilings of Bridge 308

This bill directs the Vermont Agency of Transportation to remove the remaining support pilings from Bridge 308 in Barre City, which currently obstruct water flow in the Stevens Branch. The legislation adds this removal project to the state's Rail Program and sets a completion deadline of June 30, 2024. If the pilings cannot be removed, the bill requires the bridge structure to be redesigned so it has no supports within the river channel. The measure aims to reduce the risk of ice and debris jams that can cause flooding and damage to the surrounding area.
