Interstate 189, Burlington, VT

These photos were taken of an abandoned segment of I-189 in Burlington, VT located west of Route 7.

History according to http://www.aaroads.com/guide.php?page=i0189vt:  In the early 1970s, an extension of I-189 (the Southern Connector) was proposed.  The discovery of contaminated soil around the Pine Street Barge Canal halted work on the expressway north of Pine Street.  The 0.5-mile portion that had already been constructed was left abandoned.

Drain in Poughkeepsie, NY

This drain is located on the west side of Route 9, across from the Abraham Fort Homestead. There is a structure inside and I do not know what it is. When I took the pictures, the hill was wooded, but in late 2011 the area was being redeveloped, but the drain was still there.  I have not gone back since then to check if it is still present.

Location:  It was in the vicinity of here (41.641383, -73.920008).
