Route Description
VT 63 begins as an offshoot of Interstate 89 at exit 6 in Berlin. It generally parallels VT 62, which lies about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north and travels into the center of the city of Barre. VT 63 stays to the south, running mostly due east for about 3 miles (4.8 km) before terminating at an intersection with VT 14 in South Barre, a census-designated place within the town of Barre. VT 63 mainly functions as an alternate route to VT 62, providing access to Barre while avoiding the Edward F. Knapp State Airport and the Berlin Mall area to the north.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
