Hearing on Route 100 By Pass Plans in Vermont
Vermont state Highway Board will hold a May 21 hearing in Wilmington on a 1.5 to 2 mile Route 100 bypass of Route 9. Engineers favor the east route due to higher eastbound traffic, with 1,400 cars daily to Brattleboro and the interstate versus 760 westbound toward Bennington. The road would be longer to the east yet not costlier. winter counts reached 4,600 due to Mount Snow and Haystack ski areas. Federal law requires the corridor hearing, with construction not before 1974 and a plan for a limited access highway to shield Wilmington and Dover businesses.
