U.S. Route 7 is a mostly rural two-lane road running along the western side of the state, with a few, short expressway sections. It is known as the Ethan Allen Highway for much of its 176-mile path through the state. US 7 ends at I-89 in the northern part of the town of Highgate, just south of the Canadian border. I-89 continues to the border crossing.

Route description

US 7 remains a rural 2-lane highway from the Massachusetts line to Bennington, Vermont, where a freeway is being built to the north and east of Bennington. Once complete, U.S. 7 will utilize this new bypass while the existing 2-lane road into town will become part of Vermont Route 7A. North of town, the highway then again returns to expressway status. For 3 miles it is a true expressway with divided carriageways and multiple lanes. Route 7 then narrows down to an undivided two-lane freeway. There are, however, many stretches with passing lanes. Just north of Manchester, Vermont the expressway ends and the road is either two lane or 4 lane undivided, uncontrolled road all the way to the Canadian border (except between Shelburne and Burlington, known as Shelburne Road, which is a 4 lane divided highway, and also for a 10-mile section south of Rutland). US 7 and US 2 are concurrent from Burlington to Colchester.
