From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vermont Route 129 is a short connector route from Isle La Motte and Alburg. Route 129 begins at local roads, heads northward and terminates at an intersection with U.S. Route 2. The route originated as Vermont Route F-2 by 1935, which followed the same routing as 129. Route F-2 was the name of the road that approached a ferry to Chazy. Route F-2 was renumbered by 1947 as Route 129.
[edit] Route description
Route 129 begins at School Street on Isle La Motte. The route heads northward as Main Street. This part of the highway is town maintained and is not signed as normal state routes. Route 129 heads north, intersecting with Shrine Road (Town Highway 2) before leaving Isle La Motte on a bridge for Alburg. The highway heads eastward, intersecting with local roads and passing to the south of Alburg Golf Links. Route 129 turns to the south, parallelling the shores of the La Motte Connector (a part of Lake Champlain. At a curve to the east, Route 129 intersects with a short extension of itself, which terminates quickly. The route leaves the connector and heads eastward towards U.S. Route 2. Soon after, it terminates at an intersection with US 2 on the shores of another connector in South Alburg.[2]
[edit] History
The entire length of Vermont 129 was originally designated as Vermont Route F-2 by 1930.[citation needed] Route F-2 originally went from US 2 to a ferry across Lake Champlain to Chazy, New York. Many of the F-x series routes along the shores of Lake Champlain were changed to new designations in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Route F-2 was redesignated by 1947 as Vermont Route 129. Afterwards, Route 129 was truncated to School Street on Isle La Motte.[citation needed]
