MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department will be doing road improvement projects in three wildlife management areas through mid-December, using unanticipated federal funding that must be used by the end of the year.
Most roads will be open but drivers should use caution and travel may be delayed at times, officials said.
The road work is taking place at the Wenlock, West Mountain, and Bill Sladyk wildlife management areas in the towns of Ferdinand, Brunswick, Maidstone and Derby Line in the Northeast Kingdom.
“We recognize that this is an unfavorable time of year to conduct this work, which could interfere with hunting access and other activities on these lands,” wildlife biologist Paul Hamelin said in a written statement. But, in order to take advantage of the funding, “the projects must be conducted during this period,” he said.
