Route 7 expansion plans near Burlington advance
State Highway Commissioner John T. Gray confirmed planning has begun for a Rutland to Burlington Route 7 crossing. A four lane Bennington to Manchester project faces federal injunction delays, with a court asked to lift the stay as aerial surveys and a local input team prepare an intensive planning effort. If unhalted, design could start and construction could begin by 1976 on a two lane road within a four lane right of way, with a projected Rutland entry around $200 million and potential inclusion in the next seven year highway plan.
