It's been five years since a ceremonial groundbreaking marked the start of construction on the Circumferential Highway, better known as the CIRC ...
The state says it must still wait for the the Army Corps of Engineers to approve the project. From that point, it expects it would take about a year and a half to get all the permits in place to start construction. That timeline does not take into account any legal tie-ups, which both sides anticipate are very likely.
Vermont may take more time to complete the Circ than the ancient Egyptians required to build the Great Pyramid. At this rate, when the thing is finished, there will be no real need for it except, perhaps, as a tourist destination. The jobs and the people will have all left the state and visitors will look on the ruins and wonder why.
