Mud Season 2025
Due to the ongoing thaw and potential for continued rainfall, drivers are advised to exercise caution on gravel roads within Brattleboro. Muddy and soft road surfaces can lead to uneven and challenging driving conditions. The Brattleboro Department of Public Works will be monitoring these roads and providing status updates daily through roadside signage, which will be placed at the end of gravel roads throughout town. Drivers are recommended to avoid driving on gravel roads if possible, if you must drive on a muddy road go slow and use extreme caution.
Road conditions will also be reported via an online map, which you can view here.
The roadside signage and online map will be color-coded. The colors will indicate the following:
- Green: Passable by all vehicles. Expect seasonal conditions.
- Yellow: Four-wheel drive or high-clearance vehicles recommended. Some rutting and muddy conditions.
- Orange: Four-wheel drive or high-clearance vehicles advised. Local traffic only. Expect heavy rutting and deep mud.
- Red: Closed to through traffic. Emergency vehicles and residents with proper vehicles only. Some areas are not passable.
