Vermont Route 18 is a state highway in Caledonia County, Vermont, United States. It runs southeast from the town of St. Johnsbury to the New Hampshire state line, continuing there as New Hampshire Route 18. The route parallels Interstate 93 and is a former routing of the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway.
Vermont Route 18 begins at the New Hampshire state line between Littleton and Waterford. After crossing the Connecticut River into Vermont, VT 18 veers westward to cross under I-93 into Lower Waterford village. VT 18 then continues northwest running closely parallel to I-93 on its west side for roughly 7 miles (11 km) until Stiles Pond. Just north of the pond, I-93 changes direction from northwest to southwest. VT 18 crosses under I-93 at this point with an interchange at Exit 1 (the only numbered exit on I-93 in Vermont). Soon after the I-93 junction, VT 18 ends at U.S. Route 2 about 0.25 miles (0.40 km) past the St. Johnsbury town line. US 2 continues into the town center. VT 18 is part of the Connecticut River Byway.
