Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Monday, August 11, 2025.If you’re heading out early, a heads up on regional travel that could affect your plans. The state’s road report for this week highlights ongoing construction and closures across Vermont, including a full southbound closure on I 91 between Exit 16 and Exit 15 near Fairlee with a detour using Route 25A, US 5, and Lake Morey Road through August 29. Closer to home, plan for lane closures tied to prep work for the future Burlington Winooski Bridge as VTrans continues geotechnical borings during daytime hours on select days. Leave a little extra time, especially during the workday travel window[5][1].On the public safety front, Vermont State Police report multiple weekend incidents statewide, and a separate investigation is underway after a Burlington officer fired at a driver early Sunday morning.

For governance watchers, the UVM Board of Trustees Executive Committee holds a brief session in the Waterman Building early this afternoon[2].Looking for things to do as the week kicks off. Burlington Paint and Sip has its Paint and Create Kids Camp in session today on Church Street, and tonight they host a date night session from seven to nine, a low pressure way to unwind downtown[8].

Friday features the South End Get Down, and Sisters of Anarchy Friday Nights at the Farm. Saturday brings the Burlington Farmers Market from nine to two on the waterfront, a staple for local produce and makers[2].Keep an eye on Vermont Public’s statewide events for outdoor concerts and film nights later this week, including community movie screenings that draw families out to local parks and plazas with food vendors and music beforehand[7].This has been Burlington Local Frequency.
