It WOULD be nice to have that awesome frost dip taken care of in the northbound lane as you go through the pass though :)

Here's the posting from Westford/Essex Rep Martha Heath:

"This is the response I got from the Secretary of the Agency of Transportation when I inquired about Route 128 as a result of the posts I was reading on Front Porch Forum: A paving project for the rest of 128 is scheduled for next year. Short-term fixes will be applied as soon as the asphalt plants open (April/May). No Irene connection. Mostly a matter of money for paving not going as far as it used to due to high oil prices.

You can refer people to kevin.marshia@state.vt.us for a more complete explanation of future plans."
