Expect delays, smooth surfaces, new bridges and culverts.

The Agency of Transportation is kicking off its summer construction season, spending about $130 million improving sections of interstates and roads around Vermont.

Most of the projects were picked last fall by state engineers.

In Washington county, the state plans to replace a bridge on Interstate 89 south between Berlin and Montpelier and on Route 12 in Middlesex.

In Waterbury, crews plan to install a traffic light to ease backups at the intersection with the off ramp of Interstate 89 and Route 100.

And in Rutland, several sections of Route 7 will be repaved.

Besides the planned projects, the agency also will apply a thin layer of pavement to about 80 miles of state road damaged this winter.
