Long Trail and Appalachian Trail in Vermont

|

Stretching the entire length of Vermont, the Long Trail stands as the oldest long-distance hiking trail in the United States. Crafted between 1910 and 1930 by the Green Mountain Club, this trail covers a remarkable 273 miles (439 km). In Vermont, it intersects with the Appalachian Trail (AT), commencing at the Massachusetts border, a short distance north of Mount Greylock. Over a span of 100 miles, the two trails converge, traversing southern Vermont in tandem. This shared footpath leads hikers across prominent peaks like Stratton and Bromley, allowing them to embrace the stunning landscapes and outdoor beauty that Vermont has to offer.

South Burlington’s Never Completed Interstate 189

|

There was once a plan for the highway to continue north into the city of Burlington along the waterfront and service an industrial area. Construction was delayed due to the presence of a toxic barge canal and eventually cancelled as the city largely left behind its industrial past in favor of tourism in the 1980s. The roadway was abandoned just beyond the US 7 interchange. As a result, Jersey barriers are in place on I-189 west directing traffic onto the US 7 off-ramp, orphaning approximately 0.65 miles (1.05 km) of road, along with a few ramps.
