Editing Interstate 89 (section)

===Construction===
I-89 was commissioned as part of the [[Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956]], meant to connect [[Norwalk, Connecticut]], to the Canada–United States border via the [[U.S. Route 7|US 7]] corridor, which is the current northern terminus of I-89. Within three years, however, opposition to the project (particularly from [[Massachusetts]], which desired a freeway connection from Boston to Montreal) shifted I-89 to its present alignment that connects [[Boston]] with [[Montreal]]. The first section of the highway was opened between [[Montpelier, Vermont|Montpelier]] and [[Middlesex, Vermont]], in November 1960, and between Middlesex and [[Waterbury, Vermont|Waterbury]] in December 1960. The highway was subsequently opened between Waterbury and [[Bolton, Vermont|Bolton]] in November 1961; between [[South Burlington, Vermont|South Burlington]] and [[Winooski, Vermont|Winooski]] in November 1962; between Winooski and [[Colchester, Vermont|Colchester]] and between [[Richmond, Vermont|Richmond]] and South Burlington in November 1963; between Bolton and Richmond in October 1964; in Colchester in November 1964; and between [[Swanton (town), Vermont|Swanton]] and [[Highgate, Vermont|Highgate]] in 1965. The Interstate was opened in most parts of New Hampshire in 1967, and the entirety of the route was opened in 1982.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.interstate-guide.com/i-089.html|agency=Interstate Guide|title=Interstate 89|access-date=December 3, 2018}}</ref>
