VTrans announces the $72 million Bridge & Rail Project will disrupt Middlebury’s downtown for an additional three weeks the summer of 2020!
Jim Gish, the town’s “liaison” to VTrans, has been putting lipstick on this pig for nearly two years. He’d better order several more cases in bright red  — a good color for embarrassment — to keep the pig tarted up for three more years.  
Mark your calendars for May 14. Gish says VTrans will deliver “… a  realistic, in-depth walk-through of what we can expect starting in Summer 2019 through the end of the project in Summer 2021.” 
Sure, Jim. Just as they’ve done from the start.
