Construction likely next spring for U.S. 7 project
After four years of delay the Bennington to Arlington segment of U.S. Route 7 faces possible spring 1977 construction. Attorney Harvey D. Carter Jr. said a Supreme Court decision makes further court action unlikely though a remaining injunction from 1972 could require new court action before any work starts. The highway would be a two lane divided road on a four lane right of way with 70 percent federal funding and a projected cost up to 30 million dollars.
