Reply to comment by sixteenpoundblanket in TIL that there is an art installation in Burlington, Vermont that is called the world's tallest filing cabinet. It's name is "File Under So. Co., Waiting for". It was built in 2002 in response to years of delays building the Interstate 189 bypass into downtown Burlington by IAmDavidGurney

It was under construction in the 80s too. Not holding my breath.

Eh its like actually full rolling now. They've cleared out all the land they never cleared out and are working on leveling it and will start paving in june I believe.

Personally im against the project because building a highway downtown is just stupid in 2022.

I agree it seems like a dumb project at this point. It doesn't exactly get you downtown either. It will dump you into the middle of one of the most congested streets in the city. Why would anyone choose this route over just going from I-189 directly onto Shelburne Road? Maybe tourists going to the waterfront.
