Bennington bypass plan changes pressed by planning panel
The Bennington Regional Planning Commission voted to seek a meeting with Vermont’s Highway Board to push modifications to the beltline route east of the village and through the flats. They favor an alignment closer to Morse Cadiz proposals, with two interchanges retained and the path north of U.S. 7, arguing these changes reduce land disruption and aid long term planning. John C. Burdis was tasked to attend the highway board session.
