South Burlington Bridge Breaks Ground | Montpelier News

South Burlington is finally breaking ground on a major pedestrian bridge project set to span Interstate-89, connecting Williston Road and Dorset Street — a move approved by voters in 2023. Originally slated for 2025, construction is now expected to begin in 2026 due to rising costs, but the city secured nearly $10 million in 2021 to make this accessible walk/bike path a reality. Phase one, launching Monday, will link Williston Road to the University Mall and open by 2028 — with the full bridge eventually stretching from Staples to the mall via Quarry Hill and Exit 14. This ambitious project promises safer, more connected mobility for all, turning a highway barrier into a community bridge.
