History
The east–west highway connecting U.S. Route 7 (now VT 7A) in Arlington to New York State Route 313 at the New York state line was added to the Vermont state highway system as part of the 1935 state highway system expansion and initially designated as VT 123. The route became part of VT 11 by 1938, which was then co-designated as VT 313 from New York to Arlington by 1940. VT 11 was truncated to Manchester between 1947 and 1952, leaving only the VT 313 designation on the New York – Arlington highway. In the late 1970s, US 7 was realigned onto a new limited-access highway through most of southwestern Vermont. The new highway bypassed Arlington to the east. In 1978, VT 313 was extended eastward by way of VT 7A and a new roadway to meet the new routing of US 7.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
