Hancock Town Pride

Directions Contact the organization

Hancock Town Pride Hancock Town Pride formed in 2012. The goals of our group are to foster community spirit & involvement, beautify the town and to offer events & activities.

Hancock was chartered July 31, 1781 and named for John Hancock, the Revolutionary Boston patriot. It is commonly held that Hancock was the first to sign the Declaration of Independence; while that is not the case, his signature is indeed the most noticeable, because of its size and bold flourishes, such that his name has long been synonymous with "signature" ("Put your John Hancock right there..."). Population (according to 2010 census): 323

🚨 TRAFFIC ALERT: Upcoming 12-Day Closure & Delays on VT Route 125 🚨

A major culvert replacement project is kicking off on VT Route 125 (approx. 3.4 miles east of the U.S. Route 7 intersection). Drivers should prepare for upcoming single-lane closures and a full 12-day road closure later this month.

🛑 12-Day Full Road Closure
• When: Monday, July 27 (7 AM) through Friday, August 7 (6 PM).
• Detour: VT 125 will be fully closed at the work site. A signed regional detour will direct traffic via U.S. 7, VT 73, and VT 100. 👉 LOCAL RIPTON TRAFFIC will still have access to North Branch Road. 👈
• Stay tuned: Final confirmation and details about this closure will be shared this Monday, July 13.

📅 Next Week's Prep Schedule (Expect Delays)
Before the full closure, crews are mobilizing to set up erosion controls and stream diversions:
• Monday: Crews will be on the shoulders of the detour routes to install electronic message boards.
• Tuesday – Friday (6 AM – 6 PM): Flaggers will direct traffic through single-lane closures in the work zone.

🏗️ Project Timeline: Final construction is expected to be fully completed by September 18, 2026.

🚦 Driver Tip: Please slow down through the work zone, watch for flaggers, and plan for extra travel time once the detour is active!
