According to police reports, Vermont Route 9 has reopened after being treated for snow accumulation in the chain-up area from the Bennington-Woodford town line to the Wilmington town line. The roadway had been obstructed due to adverse weather conditions, which created hazardous driving situations.
Vermont State Police say both lanes of the highway were blocked during the snow event, leading to significant delays for motorists in the vicinity of Woodford and Searsburg. Authorities had advised drivers to exercise caution and consider alternate routes while the situation was addressed.
Motorists can now resume travel along this section of Route 9, but police remind drivers to remain vigilant and drive carefully due to potential lingering icy conditions. As conditions can change rapidly, updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
