'''Vermont Route 14''' is a north-south state highway in northeastern Vermont. Its southern terminus is at [[U.S. Route 4]]/[[U.S. Route 5]] in [[White River Junction, Vermont|White River Junction]] and its northern terminus is at [[Vermont Route 100]] in [[Newport (town), Vermont|Newport]]. It runs for 110.17 miles. Vermont Route 14 was originally designated in 1922 as part of the [[New England road marking system]]. Its north end was truncated in 1926 as a result of the designation of [[U.S. Route 2]] but was extended north along an old aligmnent of [[Vermont Route 12]] in the 1960s.
'''Vermont Route 14''' ('''VT&nbsp;14''') is a {{convert|108.946|mi|km|-long|adj=mid}} north–south [[state highway]] in northeastern [[Vermont]], [[United States]]. It extends from [[U.S. Route 4 (Vermont)|U.S. Route 4]] (US&nbsp;4) and [[U.S. Route 5 (Vermont)|US&nbsp;5]] in [[White River Junction, Vermont|White River Junction]] to [[Vermont Route 100|VT&nbsp;100]] in [[Newport (town), Vermont|Newport]]. Between White River Junction and the city of [[Barre (city), Vermont|Barre]], the route parallels [[Interstate 89]] (I-89). VT&nbsp;14 was originally designated in 1922 as part of the [[New England road marking system]]. Its north end was truncated in 1926 as a result of the designation of [[U.S. Route 2 (Vermont)|US&nbsp;2]] but was extended north along an old alignment of [[Vermont Route 12|VT&nbsp;12]] in the 1960s.

===White River Junction to East Montpelier===
VT 14 begins at the intersection of [[US 4 (VT)|US 4]] and [[US 5 (VT)|US 5]] in [[White River Junction, Vermont|White River Junction]] in the town of [[Hartford, Vermont|Hartford]], at the confluence of the [[White River (Vermont)|White River]] and the [[Connecticut River]]. VT 14 heads northwest as ''Maple Street'', crossing under [[I-91]] without an interchange, and continuing through the town center of Hartford, along the north bank of the White River. Five miles later it passes through the small village of [[West Hartford, Vermont|West Hartford]] and soon enters the town of [[Sharon, Vermont|Sharon]]. After traveling another five miles along the river, VT 14 intersects with [[Vermont Route 132|VT 132]] in Sharon center and continues northwest into the town of [[Royalton, Vermont|Royalton]], where it passes through the town's three villages along the White River. VT 14 first goes through [[South Royalton, Vermont|South Royalton]], where it has a junction with [[Vermont Route 110|VT 110]], then continues to follow the winding path of the river through Royalton center, finally reaching the village of [[North Royalton, Vermont|North Royalton]], where it meets with [[Vermont Route 107|VT 107]]. From here, VT 14 turns more northerly, leaving the main White River to follow the Second Branch White River instead. VT 14 runs for about three miles in western Royalton town then enters the village of [[East Bethel, Vermont|East Bethel]] in the town of [[Bethel, Vermont|Bethel]]. Less than a mile later, VT 14 enters the town of [[Randolph, Vermont|Randolph]], passing through the village of [[South Randolph, Vermont|South Randolph]]. After traveling north for another 4.5 miles, VT 14 arrives in the village of [[East Randolph, Vermont|East Randolph]], where it has a junction with [[Vermont Route 66|VT 66]], which is signed for the Randolph town center.


===White River Junction to East Montpelier===
VT 14 continues north for another two miles through the village of [[North Randolph, Vermont|North Randolph]] before entering the town of [[Brookfield, Vermont|Brookfield]]. Upon reaching the village of [[East Brookfield, Vermont|East Brookfield]] about 3.6 miles north of the town line, VT 14 intersects with [[Vermont Route 65|VT 65]], the route to Brookfield center. Further north, VT 14 passes by [[Ainsworth State Park (Vermont)|Ainsworth State Park]], which straddles the town line between Brookfield and [[Williamstown, Vermont|Williamstown]] and also marks the upstream end of the Second Branch White River. VT 14 continues north through the narrow mountain pass of the state park and eventually arrives at the town center of Williamstown, where it intersects [[Vermont Route 64|VT 64]]. After another 2.3 miles, VT 14 crosses into the town of [[Barre (town), Vermont|Barre]]. It proceeds through the village of [[South Barre, Vermont|South Barre]], intersecting with [[Vermont Route 63|VT 63]], and continuing into the city of [[Barre (city), Vermont|Barre]]. In Barre city, VT 14 runs along ''South Main Street'' for 1.2 miles until the junction with [[U.S. Route 302]]. US 302 and VT 14 overlap along ''North Main Street'' as they head into the city center. At the city center, the two overlapped routes split at a large four-way intersection that also includes a junction with [[Vermont Route 62|VT 62]], a short connector to [[I-89]]. US 302 heads northwest directly towards the city of [[Montpelier, Vermont|Montpelier]], while VT 14 heads north along ''Maple Avenue'' towards the town of [[East Montpelier, Vermont|East Montpelier]]. VT 14 briefly re-enters Barre town for about 0.6 miles before entering the town limits of East Montpelier. After 2.4 miles, VT 14 crosses the [[Winooski River]] into the town center, where it meets [[U.S. Route 2]].
VT 14 begins at the intersection of [[US 4 (VT)|US 4]] and [[US 5 (VT)|US 5]] in [[White River Junction, Vermont|White River Junction]] in the town of [[Hartford, Vermont|Hartford]], at the confluence of the [[White River (Vermont)|White River]] and the [[Connecticut River]]. VT 14 heads northwest as ''Maple Street'', crossing under [[I-91]] without an interchange, and continues through the town center of Hartford, along the north bank of the White River. {{convert|5|mi|km|0}} later it passes through the small village of [[West Hartford, Vermont|West Hartford]] and soon enters the town of [[Sharon, Vermont|Sharon]]. After traveling another {{convert|5|mi|km|0}} along the river, VT 14 intersects with [[Vermont Route 132|VT 132]] in Sharon center and continues northwest into the town of [[Royalton, Vermont|Royalton]], where it passes through the town's three villages along the White River.

===East Montpelier to Newport===
After overlapping with US 2 for 0.2 miles through East Montpelier center, VT 14 continues for three miles to an intersection with [[Vermont Route 214|VT 214]], in the North Montpelier community of the town. It soon enters the town of [[Calais, Vermont|Calais]], running for nearly seven miles through the eastern part of this mostly rural town, plus another eight miles through the next town, [[Woodbury, Vermont|Woodbury]]. Within Woodbury, it passes through the small town center then continues past [[Greenwood Lake]] to run for several miles along the narrow river valley at the eastern edge of the [[Woodbury Mountains]]. Upon entering the next town, [[Hardwick, Vermont|Hardwick]], the valley opens up as the road approaches the town center where the [[Lamoille River]] crosses east to west. Here, northbound VT 14 is joined by westbound [[VT 15]]. The pair head northwest for about one mile, crossing the Lamoille River just north of the town center after which the two routes separate. VT 14 continues north along the west shore of [[Hardwick Lake]], as the valley the road has been passing through narrows again. After four miles, VT 14 briefly enters the town of [[Greensboro, Vermont|Greensboro]], where it passes along the shore of [[Lake Eligo]], then continues northwest into the town of [[Craftsbury, Vermont|Craftsbury]]. VT 14 bypasses the small villages of the town, running along a more westerly track.
After overlapping with US 2 for {{convert|0.2|mi|km|2}} through East Montpelier center, VT 14 continues for {{convert|3|mi|km|0}} to an intersection with [[Vermont Route 214|VT 214]], in North Montpelier village.

After traveling eight miles through rural Craftsbury, VT 14 proceeds north into the town of [[Albany, Vermont|Albany]], where it runs for another seven miles, also bypassing the town center. North of Albany, VT 14 continues into the town of [[Irasburg, Vermont|Irasburg]], where it intersects [[Vermont Route 58|VT 58]] at the town center. The two route overlap to the north and west for 1.3 miles. After another 3.5 miles in northern Irasburg town, VT 14 enters [[Coventry, Vermont|Coventry]], where it is immediately joined by [[U.S. Route 5]] coming from the southeast. The two routes overlap for about half a mile through Coventry center then separate, with US 5 heading north to the city of [[Newport (city), Vermont|Newport]] and VT 14 heading northwest towards the town of [[Newport (town), Vermont|Newport]], where it ends at [[VT 100]] less than half a mile after crossing the town line. VT 100 and [[Vermont Route 105|VT 105]] continue into Newport Center.

===19th century turnpikes===
The route number dates back from 1922 when it was part of '''[[New England Interstate Route]] 14'''. The original route ran from White River Junction, through [[Montpelier, Vermont|Montpelier]], up to [[Burlington, Vermont|Burlington]]. The portion of the old route from Montpelier to Burlington was assigned to [[U.S. Route 2]] in 1926. At the same time, Route 14 was truncated to end at [[Barre (city), Vermont|Barre]] (east of Montpelier).
The roads of the southern half of modern VT 14 were improved at the beginning of the 19th century as various privately owned [[Toll road|turnpikes]]. The oldest of these was the '''White River Turnpike''', which was chartered on November 1, 1800.<ref name=turnpikes>[https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&id=tjsBAAAAYAAJ F.J. wood, ''The Turnpikes of New England'', (Marshall Jones, 1919)]</ref> The road was to run {{convert|21|mi|km}} from the mouth of the White River to the point where it was joined by the Second Branch of the White River, and connected the settlements of [[White River Junction, Vermont|White River Junction]], [[Sharon, Vermont|Sharon]], and [[Royalton, Vermont|Royalton]]. The toll road was in operation for 52 years. By the end of this period, receipts from the road had become very small due to the recent opening in 1850, along the same path as the turnpike, of a new railway line of the [[Vermont Central Railroad]].<ref name=turnpikes/>


Another portion of modern VT 14, between [[East Brookfield, Vermont|East Brookfield]] and [[Williamstown, Vermont|Williamstown]] center, was to be improved by another turnpike corporation, the '''Williamstown Center Turnpike''', which was chartered on November 14, 1803. The charter provided that the road be turned over to the state after having been in operation for 25 years (later amended to 40 years). The company, however, did not do anything in its first two years of existence and only began laying out the road in 1805.<ref name=turnpikes/>
In the 1960s, the northern terminus of [[Vermont Route 12]] was relocated, and at the same time, the related route '''Vermont Route 12B''' was decommissioned. Part of the routing of old Route 12 (from Montpelier to [[Hardwick, Vermont|Hardwick]]), and the entire routing of old Route 12B (Hardwick to [[Coventry, Vermont|Coventry]]), was assigned to an extended Route 14.

A third turnpike corporation, the '''Randolph Turnpike''', was chartered on November 7, 1805, to build a {{convert|10|mi|km|adj=on}} northward continuation of the White River Turnpike. The road of the Randolph Turnpike was to run from [[North Royalton, Vermont|North Royalton]] to [[East Randolph, Vermont|East Randolph]]. The corporation was dissolved by the state legislature on November 6, 1833.<ref name=turnpikes/>

===Route designation===
[[Image:New England 14.svg|75px|left]]
In 1922, the [[New England]] states adopted a [[New England road marking system|region-wide system for route numbering]].<ref name="nyt">Motor Sign Uniformity, [[New York Times]], April 16, 1922</ref> '''New England Route 14''' was initially designated as a north&ndash;south route beginning at [[White River Junction, Vermont|White River Junction]], through [[Montpelier, Vermont|Montpelier]], to the city of [[Burlington, Vermont|Burlington]].<ref name=gb25>''Automobile Legal Association Green Book'', 1925 edition, (Scarborough Motor Guide Co., Boston, 1925). The book has a route log of the New England inter-state routes showing the planned alignment in 1922. The turn by turn guides show the routing as signed in 1925.</ref> The route used modern VT 14 to [[Barre (city), Vermont|Barre]], then [[US 302]] to Montpelier, and [[US 2 (VT)|US 2]] to Burlington.<ref name=gb25/> By 1925, an extension into [[New Hampshire]] had been designated continuing across the [[Connecticut River]] to [[Lebanon, New Hampshire]] and heading southeast to [[Franklin, New Hampshire|Franklin]], along modern [[US 4 (NH)|US 4]] to [[Andover, New Hampshire|Andover]] and [[New Hampshire Route 11]] to Franklin.<ref name=gb25/>

At the end of 1926, the [[American Association of State Highway Officials]] formally established the [[U.S. Highway System]]<ref>United States Numbered Highways, ''[[American Highways]]'' ([[American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials|AASHO]]), April 1927</ref> and many of the New England inter-state routes were redesignated as U.S. Routes. The portion of New England Route 14 from Barre to Burlington was assigned to [[U.S. Route 2 (Vermont)|U.S. Route 2]], while the portion in New Hampshire was assigned to [[U.S. Route 4 (New Hampshire)|U.S. Route 4]].<ref name=abb>''Official Automobile Blue Book, Vol. 1'', 1926 and 1927 editions, (Automobile Blue Books Inc., Chicago, 1926 and 1927). The 1926 map shows routes just prior to the designation of U.S. Highways.</ref> This shortened Route 14 in the south to [[US 4 (VT)|US 4]]/[[US 5 (VT)|US 5]] in White River Junction, and in the north to [[US 2 (VT)|US 2]] in the city of Barre. In 1935, the portion of US 2 between Montpelier and [[St. Johnsbury, Vermont|St. Johnsbury]] was relocated to a more northerly alignment using a section of then [[Vermont Route 18]]. The old US 2 alignment was redesignated as [[US 302]].{{citation needed|date=February 2018}} VT 14 was extended northward several miles to [[East Montpelier, Vermont|East Montpelier]], ending at the junction of newly relocated US 2 and [[Vermont Route 12]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aot.state.vt.us/planning/documents/mapping/publications/History_Details_1931_1935.pdf|title=State Highways History&nbsp;— Details of the 1935 700-mile addition|publisher=Vermont Agency of Transportation|year=2007|format=PDF|access-date=2008-02-24}}</ref><ref>''Automobile Legal Association (ALA) Green Book'', 1938/39 edition, (W.A. Thibodeau, 1938). The extension to Montpelier was in place by 1938.</ref>

On May 1, 1960, the northern half of [[Vermont Route 12]] (north of Montpelier) was relocated to the "Montpelier-Morrisville State Highway", which connected Montpelier with the village of [[Morrisville, Vermont|Morrisville]].<ref name="may1960changes">{{cite news|title=State Changes Route Numbers as Tourist Aid|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/19756671/changes_of_1959_december_31_1959/|access-date=May 2, 2018|work=The Burlington Free Press|date=December 31, 1959|page=4|via=[[Newspapers.com]]}} {{open access}}</ref> Originally, VT 12 continued north from Montpelier via East Montpelier to [[Hardwick, Vermont|Hardwick]] and [[Barton, Vermont|Barton]], then overlapped with [[U.S. Route 5]] to the city of [[Newport (city), Vermont|Newport]] via [[Coventry, Vermont|Coventry]].<ref name=abb/> Between Hardwick and Coventry, VT 12 had an alternate route, '''Vermont Route 12B''', that took a more westerly alignment via [[Albany, Vermont|Albany]].<ref name=abb/> The relocation of the northern half of VT 12 to a new alignment resulted in the redesignation of its original northern alignment. The portion between Hardwick and Barton became a new [[Vermont Route 16]]. The portion between East Montpelier and Hardwick was assigned as an extension of VT 14. At the same time, VT 12B was also redesignated as a further northward extension of VT 14, including an additional {{convert|4|mi|km|adj=on}} piece connecting to VT 100 in the town of [[Newport (town), Vermont|Newport]], resulting in the modern VT 14 alignment.<ref name=1967map>{{cite map|title=Map of New England|year=1967|url=http://www.broermapsonline.org/members/NorthAmerica/UnitedStates/NewEngland/gousha_ra_1967_003.html|publisher=Gousha|access-date=2008-02-24}}.

Vermont Route 14 (VT 14) is a 108.946-mile-long (175.332 km) north–south state highway in northeastern Vermont, United States. It extends from U.S. Route 4 (US 4) and US 5 in White River Junction to VT 100 in Newport. Between White River Junction and the city of Barre, the route parallels Interstate 89 (I-89). VT 14 was originally designated in 1922 as part of the New England road marking system. Its north end was truncated in 1926 as a result of the designation of US 2 but was extended north along an old alignment of VT 12 in the 1960s.

Route description

White River Junction to East Montpelier

[edit]

VT 14 begins at the intersection of US 4 and US 5 in White River Junction in the town of Hartford, at the confluence of the White River and the Connecticut River. VT 14 heads northwest as Maple Street, crossing under I-91 without an interchange, and continues through the town center of Hartford, along the north bank of the White River. 5 miles (8 km) later it passes through the small village of West Hartford and soon enters the town of Sharon. After traveling another 5 miles (8 km) along the river, VT 14 intersects with VT 132 in Sharon center and continues northwest into the town of Royalton, where it passes through the town's three villages along the White River. VT 14 first goes through South Royalton, where it has a junction with VT 110, then continues to follow the winding path of the river through Royalton center, finally reaching the village of North Royalton, where it meets with VT 107. From here, VT 14 turns north, leaving the main White River to follow the Second Branch of the White River. VT 14 runs for about 3 miles (5 km) in western Royalton town, then enters the village of East Bethel in the town of Bethel. Less than 1 mile (1.6 km) later, VT 14 enters the town of Randolph, passing through the village of South Randolph. After traveling north for another 4.5 miles (7.2 km), VT 14 arrives in the village of East Randolph, where it has a junction with VT 66, which is signed for the Randolph town center.[3][4]

Vermont Route 14 in Barre

VT 14 continues north for another 2 miles (3.2 km) through the village of North Randolph before entering the town of Brookfield. Upon reaching the village of East Brookfield about 3.6 miles (5.8 km) north of the town line, VT 14 intersects with VT 65, the route to Brookfield center. Further north, VT 14 passes by Ainsworth State Park, which straddles the town line between Brookfield and Williamstown and also marks the upstream end of the Second Branch of the White River. VT 14 continues north through the narrow mountain pass of the state park and eventually arrives at the town center of Williamstown, where it intersects VT 64. After another 2.3 miles (3.7 km), VT 14 crosses into the town of Barre. It proceeds through the village of South Barre, intersecting with VT 63, and continuing into the city of Barre. In Barre city, VT 14 runs along South Main Street for 1.2 miles (1.9 km) until the junction with U.S. Route 302. US 302 and VT 14 overlap along North Main Street as they head into the city center. At the city center, the two overlapped routes split at a large four-way intersection that also includes a junction with VT 62, a short connector to I-89. US 302 heads northwest directly towards the city of Montpelier, while VT 14 heads north along Maple Avenue towards the town of East Montpelier. VT 14 briefly re-enters Barre town for about 0.6 miles (1.0 km) before entering the town limits of East Montpelier. After 2.4 miles (3.9 km), VT 14 crosses the Winooski River into the town center, where it meets U.S. Route 2.[3][4]

East Montpelier to Newport

[edit]

After overlapping with US 2 for 0.2 miles (0.32 km) through East Montpelier center, VT 14 continues for 3 miles (5 km) to an intersection with VT 214, in North Montpelier village. It soon enters the town of Calais, running for nearly 7 miles (11 km) through the eastern part of this mostly rural town, including the village of East Calais, plus another 8 miles (13 km) through the next town, Woodbury. Within Woodbury, it passes through the small town center, then continues past Greenwood Lake to run for several miles along the narrow river valley at the eastern edge of the Woodbury Mountains. Upon entering the next town, Hardwick, the valley opens up as the road approaches the town center, where the Lamoille River crosses east to west. Here, northbound VT 14 is joined by westbound VT 15, as they run concurrently to the northwest for about 1 mile (1.6 km), crossing the Lamoille River just north of the town center, after which VT 15 continues west as the two routes separate. VT 14 continues north along the west shore of Hardwick Lake, as the valley the road has been passing through narrows again. After 4 miles (6 km), VT 14 briefly enters the town of Greensboro, where it passes along the shore of Lake Eligo, then continues northwest into the town of Craftsbury. VT 14 bypasses the small villages of the town, running along a more westerly track.[5][6]

After traveling 8 miles (13 km) through rural Craftsbury, VT 14 proceeds north into the town of Albany, where it runs for another 7 miles (11 km), passing through the village of Albany along the way. North of Albany, VT 14 continues into the town of Irasburg, where it intersects VT 58 at the town center. The two routes overlap to the north and west for 2.1 miles (3.4 km). After another 3.5 miles (5.6 km) in northern Irasburg town, VT 14 enters Coventry, where it is immediately joined by U.S. Route 5 coming from the southeast. The two routes overlap for about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) through Coventry center then separate, with US 5 heading north to the city of Newport and VT 14 heading northwest towards the town of Newport, where it ends at VT 100, less than 0.5 miles (0.8 km) after crossing the town line. VT 100 and VT 105 continue into Newport Center.[5][6]

History

[edit]

19th century turnpikes

[edit]

The roads of the southern half of modern VT 14 were improved at the beginning of the 19th century as various privately owned turnpikes. The oldest of these was the White River Turnpike, which was chartered on November 1, 1800.[7] The road was to run 21 miles (34 km) from the mouth of the White River to the point where it was joined by the Second Branch of the White River, and connected the settlements of White River Junction, Sharon, and Royalton. The toll road was in operation for 52 years. By the end of this period, receipts from the road had become very small due to the recent opening in 1850, along the same path as the turnpike, of a new railway line of the Vermont Central Railroad.[7]

Another portion of modern VT 14, between East Brookfield and Williamstown center, was to be improved by another turnpike corporation, the Williamstown Center Turnpike, which was chartered on November 14, 1803. The charter provided that the road be turned over to the state after having been in operation for 25 years (later amended to 40 years). The company, however, did not do anything in its first two years of existence and only began laying out the road in 1805.[7]

A third turnpike corporation, the Randolph Turnpike, was chartered on November 7, 1805, to build a 10-mile (16 km) northward continuation of the White River Turnpike. The road of the Randolph Turnpike was to run from North Royalton to East Randolph. The corporation was dissolved by the state legislature on November 6, 1833.[7]

Route designation

[edit]

In 1922, the New England states adopted a region-wide system for route numbering.[2] New England Route 14 was initially designated as a north–south route beginning at White River Junction, through Montpelier, to the city of Burlington.[8] The route used modern VT 14 to Barre, then US 302 to Montpelier, and US 2 to Burlington.[8] By 1925, an extension into New Hampshire had been designated continuing across the Connecticut River to Lebanon, New Hampshire and heading southeast to Franklin, along modern US 4 to Andover and New Hampshire Route 11 to Franklin.[8]

At the end of 1926, the American Association of State Highway Officials formally established the U.S. Highway System[9] and many of the New England inter-state routes were redesignated as U.S. Routes. The portion of New England Route 14 from Barre to Burlington was assigned to U.S. Route 2, while the portion in New Hampshire was assigned to U.S. Route 4.[10] This shortened Route 14 in the south to US 4/US 5 in White River Junction, and in the north to US 2 in the city of Barre. In 1935, the portion of US 2 between Montpelier and St. Johnsbury was relocated to a more northerly alignment using a section of then Vermont Route 18. The old US 2 alignment was redesignated as US 302.[citation needed] VT 14 was extended northward several miles to East Montpelier, ending at the junction of newly relocated US 2 and Vermont Route 12.[11][12]

On May 1, 1960, the northern half of Vermont Route 12 (north of Montpelier) was relocated to the "Montpelier-Morrisville State Highway", which connected Montpelier with the village of Morrisville.[13] Originally, VT 12 continued north from Montpelier via East Montpelier to Hardwick and Barton, then overlapped with U.S. Route 5 to the city of Newport via Coventry.[10] Between Hardwick and Coventry, VT 12 had an alternate route, Vermont Route 12B, that took a more westerly alignment via Albany.[10] The relocation of the northern half of VT 12 to a new alignment resulted in the redesignation of its original northern alignment. The portion between Hardwick and Barton became a new Vermont Route 16. The portion between East Montpelier and Hardwick was assigned as an extension of VT 14. At the same time, VT 12B was also redesignated as a further northward extension of VT 14, including an additional 4-mile (6.4 km) piece connecting to VT 100 in the town of Newport, resulting in the modern VT 14 alignment.[14]
