Due to the potential fire exposure, the southbound lane is completely closed at this point, along with one of the northbound lanes.  This is not expected to be a long-term closure.

One lane of Interstate 89 south in South Burlington is blocked near Exit 14 due to a multi-vehicle crash.  This is just before the east off-ramp onto Williston Road.  Motorists should expect delays in the area.  Details on the crash are being determined and updates will be provided when available. 

 

Thank you for your patience and please drive safely.
