Labor Day 2026 in Vermont

What the New England 511 feed carried over the holiday weekend.

Driving across Vermont

I-89 enters from New Hampshire at White River Junction and runs about 130 miles northwest through Montpelier and Burlington to the Canadian border. I-91 runs the eastern edge of the state, up the Connecticut River valley from Massachusetts to Canada. US-7 is the western main street, Bennington, Rutland, Middlebury, Burlington. US-2 runs east to west through Montpelier, and VT-100 runs north to south along the spine of the Greens.

What the season does to Vermont's highways

Vermont has a fifth season, mud season, when back roads soften and closures pop up in spring, after a long winter when snow and ice work the mountain gaps on VT-100, US-2 and the interstates. Most roads are two-lane and wooded, and cell range drops faster than you would expect. VTrans posts closures and incidents on New England 511.

Before a Vermont road trip

  1. Check the map above for anything red on your route, then open New England 511 for the DOT's own detour and restriction text.
  2. Look at the road. The Vermont cameras show the pavement itself, and most carry the mile marker.
  3. Know how to say where you are. Dispatch, 911 and tow companies ask for the route, the direction and the mile marker. How to report your location on the highway.
  4. Carry the app. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states, and the same New England 511 alerts show on your route as you drive.

What September looked like

Over 25 daily snapshots from September 1 to 25, 2026, MileCheck's archive of the New England 511 feed held 79 unique reports, including 3 crash reports and 64 work-zone reports. The routes with the most reports were I-89, I-91 and US-7. Counts reflect what the feed publishes, so a state whose DOT posts only closures shows only closures. Read the September Highway Report.

Questions, answered

Is the highway closed in Vermont right now?

The map above shows every full closure New England 511 is publishing as a red marker, crashes in orange, and weather and hazard alerts in blue and purple. Closures the DOT has posted for a future date are listed as scheduled, and ramp and lane closures sit under the toggle so the list stays readable. It reloads every five minutes. If the feed cannot be reached the page says so instead of showing an empty map. For the official list, open New England 511.

Where do I check Vermont road conditions?

New England 511 is the official source, and dialing 511 in most states reaches the same information by phone. This page reads the same New England 511 feed and adds the Vermont cameras, the corridor and pass pages, and your own mile marker if you carry the app.

How often does this page update?

Every five minutes. MileCheck's server fetches the New England 511 feed, converts it to one format shared by all 50 states, and caches it for five minutes. Each alert also carries the time the DOT last updated it, shown in the list.

Does the MileCheck app show these alerts?

Yes. The app shows the same New England 511 alerts on your route, ahead of your position, with the mile marker you are passing. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states. Live alerts are part of MileCheck Premium, $49.99 a year or $9.99 a month after a 7-day free trial.

Know exactly where you are — live

Your mile marker shows even offline. New England 511 alerts on your route and the nearest camera are part of MileCheck Premium and need a connection to update. Runs on CarPlay and Android Auto.
