MIDDLEBURY — Opponents of a $52 million plan to replace two downtown Middlebury rail bridges are asking legislators and Gov. Phil Scott to postpone the project and support further research into a less costly solution they believe could bring less disruption to Addison County’s shire town.
State officials this week confirmed the House and Senate Transportation Committees will accept public testimony during the coming weeks as they review plans to replace Middlebury’s Main Street and Merchants Row bridges over the railroad with a massive concrete tunnel.
