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.

Had Kind of an Aw Shit Moment This Morning 🚴 💩

I regularly will sneak up Arch Street to Warren Street to Park Avenue and then ride the wrong way up Museum Road, past the State Museum. Yes, I know that is illegal, but I go that way to avoid both traffic and the hill. It makes for a more pleasant commute. And what would there be but a State Trooper sitting in his cop car at the entrance of the Empire Plaza.

While I didn’t get stopped or get a ticket, I realize probably riding the wrong-way on this lightly trafficked street, isn’t exactly the mostly legal way to get to work, even if it’s the easiest and arguably the safest.
