The following was written by a representative from the Vermont Agency of Transportation.

I want to provide you with an update of our activities and direction for the route 106 repairs.    Initially there were a few options coming from the field regarding this site, cut the approaches, acquire ROW and move the road completely, rebuild/repair in place etc.  Yesterday a VTrans Geo-technologist and Geo-morphologist were brought in to investigate the site and advise on the preferred way forward. From their analysis and collective thinking, the best and right way to address this slide (shy of total relocation) is to initiate a permanent fix in place from the onset.  Due to the magnitude of the slope the river bank must be armored and erosion control must be achieved.  Gurney Brothers has begun to divert channel waters to allow safer access to the base of the slope.  The final plan on the fix might be ready within two weeks+/-. VTrans is moving forward to develop this plan and initiate the permanent repair.  Once this plan is developed, we will certainly share the plan with you so that you in turn can make it available to interested parties in the town.    We think we can have the roadway up to grade by late November+/-, barring any significant high-water events that would impede or destroy progress made.
