The entire length of Colchester Causeway is currently closed beginning at The Mills Point parking lot. Reconstruction of the storm damaged causeway has begun. While Local Motion has temporarily postponed the Island Line Ferry service, walkers and bikers will still enjoy 8.5 miles of magnificent distant mountain views over Lake Champlain along the Island Line Trail from Oakledge Park in Burlington to Airport Park in Colchester. It is anticipated the causeway will reopen in early July.
