North Williston Road Route 117 Scoping Study

 

Essex, Vermont

On behalf of the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission, D&K explored alternatives to improve the intersection of Route 117 and North Williston Road. In addition to traffic congestion, safety deficiencies, and bicycle/pedestrian mobility limitations, the area experiences repeated flooding and roadway over-topping between the Winooski River bridge and the Route 117 intersection.

Improvement options included signalization, signage, roadway realignment, and a roundabout. As it was determined that the area would flood repeatedly, easily operable gates with flashing lights were suggested for times when road closure becomes necessary. Services included:
