MONDAY NIGHT:

Hartford — Vermont State Police have closed Interstate 89 northbound at Exit 1, diverting traffic onto Route 4 in Quechee.

The closing is due to a “large sinkhole,” Hartford emergency officials wrote on Facebook.

A state trooper’s cruiser blocked both travel lanes and cones lined the roadway around 6:15 p.m.

No further information was immediately available.
