At Fair Haven, US 4 in New York enters the state of Vermont from Albany, immediately becoming a freeway. This section of the highway is about 30 kilometers long and runs past Rutland. One comes here through hilly to mountainous forest area. Just west of Rutland, the road crosses the ridge of the Green Mountains, reaching the 17,000-population town, Vermont’s second largest city. The highway runs to the south side of Rutland, after which the road becomes a 2×2 trunk with US 7from Bennington forms the southern approach road to Rutland.
