The East-West Highway is a long-proposed east-west corridor in northern New England and especially Maine. Earlier studies involved an extension west through New Hampshire and Vermont, possibly incorporating the U.S. Route 4 freeway west of Rutland, Vermont. In 1970, these three states and New York submitted two corridors - Albany, New York to Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Glens Falls, New York to Calais, Maine - for inclusion in the Interstate Highway System, but the Federal Highway Administration did not approve the plan. In 1999, the Maine Department of Transportation completed a study on a similar highway.

-'''Interstate 92''' is a proposed east-west corridor in [[New England]].  The highway was to run through [[New England]] along the [[U.S. Route 4]] corridor in [[Vermont]] and [[New Hampshire]].  The original plans for the highway were canceled in the mid 1970s; however, the plan got renewed support from the [[Maine Department of Transportation]] and the Government of [[Canada]] in 1999.  Although the highway has not officially been designated a number, it has frequently been called Interstate 92 by the media and supporters.[http://www.interstate-guide.com/future.html#092]
