Traffic alert: Interstate 89 in Colchester to close

BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – We have a traffic alert for travelers in Chittenden County.

Interstate 89 at Exit 17 in Colchester will close to all traffic for multiple nights this week from 8:00 pm to 6:00 am.

That’s in effect on Monday and ends Friday.

The closure will allow workers to install reinforcements for the Route 2 bridge over I-89.
