Mosher Excavating Revisits Role in Cleanup Efforts for Hurricane Irene By Jay Adams CEG CORRESPONDENT

August 28 marked a unique anniversary for Craig Mosher, president of Mosher Excavating Inc. — the tempest that caused his worst nightmare and, perhaps, his finest hour. Mosher, who has built many a road over the last 33 years throughout the mountains and backwoods of Vermont, was one of the first to act a year ago when Hurricane Irene wiped many of them out, along with parts of major highways Route 4 and Route 9, Route 100, 100A and others.

Peter Shumlin’s State of the State Address. “With Route 4 shut down, and community after community [becoming] isolated islands where roads and bridges once served, brothers John and Doug Casella had an idea.

Mosher and his crew cleared the way on Route 4, a major artery out of Killington, where people were trapped by the flooding.
