The northernmost stretch of Interstate 93 takes the freeway westward 11.10 miles through the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, mostly parallel to VT 18. I-93 enters the state from the Connecticut River and arcs west through the town of Waterford to end at I-91 outside St. Johnsbury.
Interstate 93 was completed in Vermont on October 29, 1982 after 20 years of planning and lawsuits filed by various area agriculture groups. Work opened all 11 miles of freeway simultaneously.1
