The town of Lyndonville reminds drivers to remain cautious while traveling in the area due to state-wide salt shortages.

Lyndonville is facing a minor salt shortage this season due to a limited supply of salt coming into the state. Although there is a shortage, town officials have assured its drivers that road salting will continue, just at a smaller level.

The limited salt shortage stems from Canada shutting down its distribution to several Vermont municipalities in the wake of recent international relationship changes between the U.S. and Canada. Lyndonville was not one of these affected towns; however, the towns that were have now switched to the same distributor as Lyndonville, causing an influx of demand with not enough supply to go around to everyone.

Lyndonville, unlike other towns, has budgeted properly for events like this and only reminds its citizens that they should remain more cautious than usual while driving.
