Vermont Route 105 (VT 105) is a 98.135adj=midNaNadj=mid state highway located in northern Vermont in the United States. The route runs from U.S. Route 7 (US 7) in St. Albans in the west to the New Hampshire state line in Bloomfield in the east. The road continues across the state line as Bridge Street, a short unnumbered New Hampshire state route to US 3 in North Stratford, New Hampshire. As it is not a New Hampshire state highway, the connection is signed with Vermont state highway signage, similar to how connections to Vermont state routes are indicated elsewhere in New Hampshire.
Moose are most often encountered on four roads in Vermont, of which this is one. They are seen from Island Pond to Bloomfield.[2]
