Bennington Route 7 truck lane plan eyed by state panel
Vermont highway officials tentatively plan several Bennington area improvements on Route 7 funded entirely by state money. A key proposal is a northbound truck lane in Center Shaftsbury. If a $5 million appropriation passes the House and not blocked by the Appropriations Committee, the projects would be funded. The plan includes widening or rebuilding a Route 7 bridge at Pownal and other upgrades in Searsburg Pawlet and Whitingham.
