The Committee
to Extend Route 7 regrets the proposed widening of the current Route 7.
It is not a long-term solution. The widening will result in more congestion
and air pollution, as the road narrows back to 2 lanes north of Olmstead
Hill Road. The addition of 6 or more new traffic lights will only
encourage commuters to use the side roads in ever increasing numbers and
with ever increasing frequency.

Wider Route 7 expected to open by end of year
The widening of Route 7 in Wilton is proceeding on schedule,
and drivers will find newly opened sections of four-lane
road by the end of the year, a Department of Transportation
official said.
