Vermont highway officials say major road work for the new Pownal race track must wait for legislative funds or reallocation. Commissioner Russell Holden warned of severe traffic when the track opens, with only minor improvements possible from existing district funds. He called for public demand to spur action, noting planning can begin now and full changes may take about three years after hearings and land purchases.
