New Bridge 7 opens in Hartford

HARTFORD, Vt. (WCAX) – Upper Valley commuters may have a better time behind the wheel.

The new Bridge 7 across the White River and Town Highway 98 in Hartford is now open for traffic.

For the past two weeks, traffic has been detoured as crews closed the old bridge 7 to replace it with a new, wider bridge.

Construction continues in that area so drivers should expect minor delays on Route 14.
