The Vermont Agency of Transportation is taking steps to improve traffic conditions at a construction site on Interstate 89 in Richmond.
The agency hopes to ease traffic congestion at a construction site in the southbound lane of Interstate 89 in Richmond where crews are repairing flood damage.
The agency will begin using the "zipper taper" method of merging traffic today.
Officials hope it will reduce traffic delays during peak hours as crews repair flood damage.
Project Manager Dick Hosking says it's going to require a change in the way motorists think about merging and a higher level of cooperation between motorists.
The state will install new message boards to tell drivers to merge at the edge of the work zone.
