As the eclipse in Vermont neared on Monday, Newport City officials reported that the municipality was at full capacity for public parking.
“Parking is full,” the city’s police department posted on its Facebook page a little after noon, adding, “Please seek alternate locations outside of Newport.”
The Orleans County city in northern Vermont, at Exit 27 on Interstate 91, sits along the shores of Lake Memphremagog and just a few miles from the Canadian border. Like much of the northeastern portion of the state, it’s expected to have clear skies when the total eclipse occurs around 3:30 p.m.
