What moves through Burlington
Dairy and specialty food lead, with milk, cheese and processed dairy shipping regionally and a specialty food economy that has built nationally recognized brands from maple, craft beverage and artisan production. Much of that freight carries temperature requirements and originates at facilities well off the main routes.
Precision manufacturing including technology components adds high-value freight, forest products ship from the surrounding region, distribution serves northwestern Vermont and the Champlain Valley, and the Canadian crossings north of the city carry trade into Quebec.
The corridors that carry it
I-89 runs southeast toward White River Junction and New Hampshire and north toward the Canadian border, US-7 carries the north-south valley traffic and state routes reach the rest. Montreal sits about ninety minutes north, which makes Burlington a genuine cross-border market rather than merely a regional one.
