State Street Reconstruction – What Visitors Need to Know

Montpelier is getting some much-needed upgrades! Beginning March 18, 2025, construction on State Street will update underground infrastructure. While this work is essential, we know it can make getting around a little tricky. Here’s what visitors need to know to navigate Montpelier smoothly during construction:

Getting Here & Parking

Downtown is Open! Shops, restaurants, and attractions are ready to welcome you.
Parking Updates: Some parking may be affected, but alternatives are being explored. 
Driving Detours: Expect some lane shifts and changes. Check out the detour map to plan your route and navigate downtown with ease!

Walking & Exploring Downtown

Sidewalks Remain Open: Pedestrian access to businesses will be maintained throughout construction.
Wayfinding Signs: Look for signs guiding you to your favorite downtown spots, parking lots, and detours.
Events & Attractions: Construction won’t stop the fun! Check out our calendar for things to do.
