Construction to widen Route 206 within the project limits to two travel lanes in each direction has resumed after a lengthy pause while the services of a new contractor were obtained.

The project begins south of the Doctors Way intersection (Milepost 66.36) and ends approximately one half mile north of the Valley Road intersection (Milepost 68.00).

Scheduled Completion: Fall 2026

Project Details

The $42 million contract includes construction of multiple operational, safety and state-of-good-repair improvements for all highway users.

• Widening the highway to two travel lanes in each direction, divided by a center median concrete barrier
• Constructing jughandles for U-Turn movements at Triangle Road, Valley Road, and near Camplain Road
