Construction is underway on a walk-bike bridge over I-89 at Exit 14
The Daily Burlington team
If you walk Williston Road over I-89, you know the stretch: traffic barreling on and off the Exit 14 ramps and, with winter's short, dark days around the corner, less visibility. After decades of that, walkers and bikers can now see a fix taking shape just south of the overpass.
The bridge would link Williston Road and University Mall
