Vermont Route 125 is a 35.901-mile-long (57.777 km) state highway in Addison County, Vermont, United States. The route begins at an intersection for VT 17 in the town of Addison near the Champlain Bridge. The route runs through the towns of Bridport, Middlebury, Ripton and the Green Mountain National Forest before reaching a junction with VT 100 in Hancock. Parts of VT 125 from Bridport to Middlebury were designated as Vermont Route F-8 by 1926, but was truncated by 1931 to a segment between West Bridport and VT 30A (current-day VT 22A). The section between VT 30A and Middlebury had been designated as Vermont Route 19. VT 19 began at VT 17 in Chimney Point, terminating at VT 30 in Middlebury. VT 125 had been designated between US 7 in Middlebury to VT 100 in Hancock by 1935, but by 1949, had absorbed the entirety of VT 19 to Chimney Point.
VT 125 begins at an intersection with VT 17 in the Chimney Point section of Addison just after the latter comes off the Champlain Bridge from Crown Point. VT 125 runs southeast through the Chimney Point State Historic Site as Bridge Road, a two-lane local road. Running along the western shore of Lake Champlain, the route passes several housing developments in the town of Addison, crossing south over a local tributary of the lake. Winding southeast, VT 125 crosses through the flats of Addison County, crossing into the town of Bridport. Turning away from the lake shore, VT 125 turns east at the junction with Lake Street, soon bending southeast through the flats in Bridport. At West Market Street, the route turns eastward again, reaching the hamlet of Bridport.
