Vermont VTrans Cameras — Live Road Cameras & Map
All Vermont VTrans cameras — interactive statewide map
About this map
Vermont packs a remarkable amount of mountain driving into a small state, and VTrans (the Vermont Agency of Transportation) operates roughly 89 cameras on the New England Compass platform to help travelers see conditions before they commit to a pass or a long valley run. The network concentrates on the corridors that matter most: I-89 from Burlington through Montpelier to White River Junction, I-91 along the eastern spine from Brattleboro to the Canadian border, US-7 down the western Champlain Valley, US-4 over the Killington shoulder, and VT-100, the scenic Green Mountain spine that threads ski country. On every camera page you can pull a live still and judge for yourself whether the road is bare, wet, snow-covered, or socked in by fog before you leave the driveway.
What sets Vermont apart from a plain traffic-camera feed is the road-weather network behind it. Most VTrans cameras sit at Road Weather Information System (RWIS) sites, roadside ESS stations co-located with each camera that report genuine on-road data, not an airport reading miles away. Each linked sensor shows air temperature, pavement or surface temperature, the road surface condition (dry, wet, snow, or ice), and wind. That pavement reading is the single most useful number in a Vermont winter: when the air is just above freezing but the surface temperature has dropped below 32, you are looking at black ice forming on the road in front of the camera.
Use the cameras and sensors together. In ski season the resorts draw heavy weekend traffic up US-4 to Killington, VT-100 and VT-108 to Stowe, and the Mad River Valley to Sugarbush, so checking a camera saves you from crawling into a backup blind. The high mountain gaps add their own complication: Smugglers' Notch on VT-108 closes entirely for winter, and the steep Lincoln Gap road shuts down too, so a camera at the approach tells you whether a pass is even open. Whether you are commuting I-89 across central Vermont or pointing the car at a summit, start here, read the surface temperature, and drive to what the road is actually doing.

Statewide
The statewide view gathers all of Vermont's VTrans cameras into one map, spanning the I-89 run from Burlington through Montpelier to White River Junction, the full I-91 eastern spine from Brattleboro to Newport and Derby Line on the Canadian border, US-7 down the Champlain Valley, US-4 over Killington, and VT-100 through the Green Mountain ski towns. It is the fastest way to scan a planned cross-state route, compare conditions between the warmer Champlain lowlands and the snowier mountain gaps, and confirm whether seasonal passes like Smugglers' Notch on VT-108 are open before you set out.
Burlington
Burlington is Vermont's largest city, set on the shore of Lake Champlain where I-89 reaches its northern end and meets US-7 and US-2. Cameras here cover the I-89 approach through Williston and Essex Junction (exits 11-14), the I-189 spur and US-7 Shelburne Road into South Burlington, and the lakefront grid, where lake-effect moisture and wind off Champlain can leave roads wet or icy when inland routes are dry. Check these before a morning commute or a run down US-7 toward Vergennes and Middlebury.
Montpelier–Barre
The Montpelier-Barre twin cities sit in central Vermont's Washington County, where I-89 passes the smallest state capital in the country. Cameras watch I-89 exits 7 and 8, the US-302 Barre-Montpelier Road commercial strip through Berlin, and US-2 along the Winooski River. This is a key junction where mountain weather off the Green Mountains meets the valley, so the RWIS pavement readings here are worth a look before climbing VT-100 toward Waterbury and the Mad River Valley or continuing south on I-89 toward Randolph and White River Junction.
Rutland
Rutland is Vermont's second-largest city and the hub of the western mountains, where US-7 meets US-4 at the foot of the Killington massif. Cameras here cover the US-7 corridor north toward Brandon and south toward Wallingford and Manchester, plus US-4 east through Mendon and Killington toward the resort and West Bridgewater. In ski season this is the gateway to Killington and Pico, and the climb up US-4 past Mendon is one of the most weather-sensitive stretches in the state, so read the surface temperature before heading up.
I-89 Corridor
I-89 is Vermont's diagonal backbone, running from Burlington on Lake Champlain southeast through Waterbury (exit 10, the VT-100 gateway to Stowe and Sugarbush), Montpelier, and the rural towns of Williamstown, Randolph, and Bethel down to White River Junction, where it meets I-91 at exit 1 and crosses into New Hampshire. Cameras and RWIS sites along this corridor track the long grades through the Green Mountains near Bolton and Middlesex, where snow squalls and black ice form quickly. It is the single most important route to check for any central or northern Vermont trip.
I-91 Corridor
I-91 is the eastern spine of Vermont, a 177-mile run up the Connecticut River valley from the Massachusetts line at Brattleboro through White River Junction (the I-89 junction) and St. Johnsbury (where I-93 splits off toward New Hampshire's White Mountains and Boston) to Newport and the Canadian border at Derby Line. Cameras along this corridor cover a quieter, two-lane-each-way interstate that still sees fast-moving winter weather, especially in the Northeast Kingdom around St. Johnsbury and Newport, so the on-road surface readings are valuable for judging ice on long open stretches.
Southern Vermont
Southern Vermont covers the gateway from Massachusetts: I-91 and US-5 at Brattleboro, US-7 north through Bennington and Manchester, and VT-9 (the Molly Stark Trail) crossing the Green Mountains between Brattleboro and Bennington via Wilmington. This is the access region for Mount Snow and Stratton, reached by turning onto VT-100 north at Wilmington toward West Dover. Cameras here help travelers coming up from Boston or New York judge the VT-9 mountain crossing and the VT-100 ski approach, both of which can hold snow long after the valleys clear.
Tips for using Vermont road cameras
- Read the pavement or surface temperature, not just the air temperature, on each RWIS-linked camera; when the surface is below 32 degrees and the air is above it, black ice is likely even on roads that look merely wet.
- Before any ski-season trip up US-4 to Killington, VT-100 to Stowe, or the Sugarbush Access Road in Warren, check a camera at the approach to gauge both snow cover and the weekend traffic backup.
- Confirm that seasonal passes are open before you route over them: Smugglers' Notch on VT-108 closes from roughly mid-October to mid-May, and the steep Lincoln Gap road closes in winter as well.
- On I-89 watch the long grades near Bolton and Middlesex and on I-91 the open stretches around St. Johnsbury and Newport, where snow squalls and ice form faster than in the valleys.
- Near Burlington, remember that wind and moisture off Lake Champlain can leave US-7 Shelburne Road and the lakefront wet or icy when inland routes are already dry.
- Pull a fresh camera still right before you leave rather than trusting an older forecast, since Vermont mountain conditions can flip from wet to snow-covered within a single hour.
