A bridge that is part of the second leg of the Bennington Bypass highway project is now open to traffic.

The East Road bridge on the northern leg of the bypass was opened on Friday.

Many people use East Road to reach the Mount Anthony Union Middle School.

Construction on the northern leg of the bypass began in August of 2007. It will connect U.S. Route 7 with Vermont Route 9 east of downtown Bennington and pass under East Road.

The first leg of the bypass opened several years ago.

The second leg isn’t due to be finished until 2012.
