Study Area

The term "Western Corridor" refers to the project study area, which stretches approximately 200 miles between the Massachusetts and the Quebec borders. Centered on highway US 7, the study area extends approximately five miles to the east and five miles to the west of the railroad-highway axis. While this area is the primary focus of the study, consideration is also given to parallel routes (e.g. VT 22A) and regional connections beyond the 10-mile wide study area.
