Bennington plans unity on bypass route for US 7
Bennington selectmen and Bennington Regional Commissions with at least one private citizen meet to forge a united stance on the proposed four lane US 7 relocation. The Highway Department's plan would route south of current US 7, with interchanges near Varney School, Golf Course, and Main Street, prompting local objections over property disruption and village impact. Police report two two car crashes on VT 9 and US 7 with non serious injuries. About 75 Vermont Army National Guard members will bivouac at Long Trail Road camp, with a Saturday night mock warfare exercise.
