Vermont Route 103 (abbreviated '''VT 103''') is a north-south state road that runs from Rockingham in the east to Clarendon near Rutland in the west. The Vermont Country Store 's second branch is one attraction along the route, as well as the Okemo Ski Resort in Ludlow . ROUTE DESCRIPTION VT 103 is a major Arterial Road for Vermont, being the most direct path from Boston and southeastern New England to Rutland and the Green Mountains ski areas and attractions. Although U.S. Route 4 is a shorter and slightly better road across the Green Mountains to Rutland, it is a direct east-west road intersecting Interstate 91 significantly north of the diagonal 103. Numerous proposals to widen 103 into a Two-lane Freeway or similar limited-access roadway have failed, even though a substantial power company right of way shadows the road for much of its length. Windsor County VT 103 begins in Rockingham at I-91 and U.S. Route 5 just west of Bellows Falls . From there, it proceeds as a wide sweeping road to Chester , where it crosses the Williams River on a new bridge. The road from Chester to Ludlow varies from a narrow and winding shoulder-less 2-lane between the river and mountains to a more wide-shouldered road. It passes through Ludlow and proceeds north, then west to the county line. Rutland County Across the county line, VT 103 heads into the Shrewsbury village of Cuttingsville with even more variations in road quality. Outside Cuttingsville, it proceeds through Clarendon and meets U.S. Route 7 just south of Rutland and very close to the U.S. 7 Freeway which proceeds south to Manchester .
