Vermont State Police at the Williston Barracks reported a highway closure on Route 100 in Hyde Park. The state police department blocked traffic between Route 100C and Whitaker Road to allow fire crews to work safely near the roadway. Troopers set up temporary stop signs and directed vehicles onto neighboring streets while the emergency response continued.
Crews expect the shutdown to continue for several hours. State troopers will monitor the scene and share new details as they become available. Motorists traveling through Lamoille County should plan for delays or use nearby side roads to bypass the affected stretch. The closure affects both northbound and southbound lanes during the operation.
The state maintains Route 100 without tolls, so drivers pay no fees to travel along the corridor while crews work. Police ask travelers to reduce speed in the work zone and watch for emergency vehicles entering from local driveways. Local fire districts typically respond first when alarms sound along this rural stretch.
Motorists can check the department website or listen to local radio stations for real-time updates as crews finish their work. Traffic should resume normally once the fire is fully contained and road surfaces cool.
