VT 140 begins at a four-way intersection with VT 30 in the incorporated village of Poultney in the town of Poultney. VT 30 heads north as Beaman Street and south as Grove Street, and VT 140 heads east as Main Street; the west leg of the intersection is Main Street, which passes through the Poultney Main Street Historic District and leads to Green Mountain College. VT 140 parallels the Poultney River east from the village and passes through the East Poultney Historic District.
