Barre, Vt. – The Agency of Transportation (AOT) has closed the State rail trails due to flooding and potential hazards on the trails.

The Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail, Delaware & Hudson Rail Trail, and Beebe Spur Rail Trail are closed until further notice.

Trail users are advised to avoid all State rail trails, which are sustaining flood damage in certain areas and have down trees and rapidly changing conditions.
