Press Release: Route 4 Extension To Killington Through New York State Approved

State of New York To Be Demolished To Make Way For New Road

It’s been a complaint from skiers from New York for many years, but finally the management team of Killington, New Hampshire has convinced New York State to convert route 4 into an interstate through New York to connect to the New York Thruway (or the Northway as it’s often referred to).

Changes Reduce Time That Rich NYC Dwellers Have To spend On The Road

This change will cut the trip from New York City, and Albany to Killington, New Hampshire down by 40 minutes. New York State government has calmed the fears of the various small towns that will now be avoided, such as Whitehall, Fort Ann and Lake George that their police officers will still be allowed to patrol this new highway and give out tickets to any driver travelling more than 25 mph.

Other Law Changes

New York State was also able to negotiate that these towns also remove local laws that allow brothers and sisters to marry each other, but the cousin rule must stay firmly in place.
