According to police reports, traffic delays occurred on Interstate 91 North between Sheffield Heights and the Barton Exit due to three tractor trailers blocking the right lane on Tuesday evening. Vermont State Police say the blockage was caused by icy road conditions, leading to significant slowdowns for motorists in the area.
The incident began shortly before 9:00 PM and is expected to last for at least one to two hours as the Vermont Agency of Transportation dispatched a truck to treat the roadway. Motorists are advised to remain cautious while driving in the affected area and to consider alternative routes to avoid the delays.
As conditions can change rapidly, updates will be provided as more information becomes available. Police remind drivers to exercise caution during winter weather conditions to ensure their safety and the safety of others on the road.
