- Routing of I-89 and I-91 Through Lebanon
- What occurred
- In June of 1956, a new Federal-Aid Highway Act was passed that authorized the construction of a 41,000-mile network of interstate highways through the United States with a budget of $26 Billion. Two of these highways, Interstate 89 (Bow, NH-Canadian Border) and Interstate 91 (New Haven, CT- Canadian Border) were routed through Lebanon, and as all odd numbered primary interstates, they both run north-south. The routing of these interstates helped contribute to Lebanon's economic revival following the end of the mill era.
