VT Route 9, the major East/West route of Bennington, intersects I-91 in Brattleboro, VT Exit 2. Considered by many to be a beautiful scenic route in 4 seasons, Route 9 climbs and travels through the lower portion of the Green Mountains. Large trucks, tractor trailers, buses and campers should perform a thorough inspection of their vehicle's braking system and the security of all loads before traveling this route. Many steep grades and winding roads can make this route hazardous to unfamiliar drivers.
