The East–West Highway is a long-proposed east–west highway corridor in northern New England (Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont), intended to link remote northern communities in those states with markets in the Maritimes, Quebec, and upstate New York. ==History== Low population and natural barriers like the White Mountains have long impeded significant economic development in northern New England. Proposals for an east–west highway date back to the 1940s. In the early 1970s, all three northern New England states and New York proposed two new Interstate Highway corridors, both of which may have been designated as Interstate 92: * From Albany, New York, to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, incorporating the route that is now New Hampshire Route 101. * From Glens Falls, New York, to Calais, Maine, tracing U.S. Route 4 through Vermont and New Hampshire. The Federal Highway Administration ultimately did not approve the plan. Maine Senator Olympia Snowe said in 2004 that the region is disadvantaged by the fact that it was the only region in the United States for which a federal High Priority Corridor was not designated in the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act. In 2012, the east–west highway was again proposed, this time as a privately financed toll road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Transportation Committee passes bill for east-west highway study )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「East–West Highway (New England)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
