Sanahin. Through Danbury proper, Route 7 overlaps with I-84 for about . Through this section of expressway, Routes I-84, US 7, US 6 and US 202 are concurrent. Routes 7 and 202 then leave I-84 at exit 7 and travel on their own expressway for approximately to just south of the New Milford line. On this section there are two exits. At exit 11 (Federal Road), US 202 exits the expressway and at exit 12, Route 202 crosses back over Route 7. On southbound Route 7, the exit for I-84 eastbound is signed as exit 10.

Construction on the section between I-84 and exit 12 began in 1974 and completed in 1976. The Brookfield bypass segment between exit 12 and the current expressway terminus opened in November 2009, after two years of construction. The former US 7 route through Brookfield is now signed solely as US 202. Route 7 is cosigned with US 202 until central New Milford, where Route 202 turns east with Route 67 	U.S. Route 7

Recent construction has also made large parts of Route 7 between the terminus of the expressway and New Milford a four-lane divided highway with at-grade intersections. North of New Milford center, Route 7 remains a two-lane road through the rest of Connecticut and leaves Connecticut in the town of North Canaan. Massachusetts. US 7 enters Massachusetts in the town of Sheffield and remains a two-lane road until Lenox. There, a four-lane bypass of Lenox was built in two pieces, and the old US 7 is now Route 7A.

US 7 leaves downtown Pittsfield as a two-lane surface arterial, and continues as a rural highway with occasional three-lane stretches for climbing the grades along the Berkshires. It passes west of Mount Greylock before passing through Williamstown, connecting the Taconic Trail with the Mohawk Trail. The road passes Williams College before entering Vermont.' Like Connecticut, Massachusetts planned a US 7 expressway from the existing bypass 	U.S. Route 7

In Massachusetts, Route 7 passes through the towns of Sheffield, Great Barrington, Stockbridge, Lee, Lenox, Pittsfield, Lanesborough, New Ashford, and Williamstown, before crossing into Pownal, Vermont. Vermont. US 7 remains a rural two-lane highway from the Massachusetts line to Bennington, Vermont, where a freeway is being built to the north and east of Bennington. Once complete, US 7 will utilize this new bypass while the existing two-lane road into town will 	U.S. Route 7

Route 7 then narrows down to an undivided two-lane freeway. There are, however, many stretches with passing lanes. Just north of Manchester the expressway ends. From Manchester to Wallingford, the road is two lanes and rural. North of Wallingford, US 7 becomes a four lane divided highway with at-grade intersections, until its southern junction with US 4, south of the city of Rutland. From Rutland north, the 	U.S. Route 7

History. Prior to the U.S. Highway system, the alignment of US 7 from Great Barrington, Massachusetts to the Canada–US border north of Highgate Springs, Vermont was part of the New England road marking system's Route 4. When first commissioned in 1927, US 7 ran along the entire length of Route	U.S. Route 7

Route 4 then went west along Route 343 to the New York state line, where the road continues along New York State Route 343 (NY 343) to Amenia. US 7 originally extended further south of Amenia all the way to New York City along NY 22 but was never signed within the city. By 1929, the southern terminus had been shifted to Norwalk, Connecticut. The previous designations of the new alignment south of Great Barrington were: Route 17 to 	U.S. Route 7
7509991	North Canaan, State Highway 134 to New Milford, State Highway 128 to Danbury, Route 3 to Ridgefield, and State Highway 126 to Norwalk. Until the 1970s, US 7 reached the Canada–US border, with the road continuing as provincial route 7. US 7 was then cut back to the I-89 interchange mentioned above, with I-89 continuing to the Canada–US border and becoming Quebec Route 133.

A fraction of visitors to the monastery also stop at the small nearby Mikoyan museum in the former school, run by Mikoyans' relatives. History. The first church of the monastery, Surb Astvatsatsin, was built in the 30s and 40s of the 10th century (during the reign of King Abbas I Bagratuni). In 966, King Ashot III the Merciful and Queen Khosrovanuysh  built the Church of the Holy Savior, their sons Kyurike (Gurgen) for the work of Smbat , founded a congregation, a high school, invited clergymen, scholars, and writers. The founding abbot was Polycarp, who was succeeded by the scholar Hovhannes. In 979, by the decree of King Smbat II, the monastery complex of Sanahin became the seat of the newly formed bishop of the Kyurikian kingdom (until the middle of the 11th century), Isaiah was ordained diocese of Tashir. Dioscoros Sanahnetsi (1039-1063), proclaimed a "great orator", was one of the patriarchs. During his time, the library and the chapel  of St. Gregory were built, the caring school became a large educational center, the library was enriched, many manuscripts were written and flourished. It was studied, taught and created by scholarly monks Anania Sanahnetsi and Hakobos Karapnetsi. In addition to theology, the school taught philosophy, rhetoric, music, medicine, calendars, and other sciences. According to the legend, Grigor Magistros Pahlavuni taught at the school. Therefore, the hall built between Surb Astvatsatsin and the church of Surb Amenaprkich was called "Magistros Seminary". During the Seljuk invasions and their rule, which began in the second half of the 11th century, as well as  after the fall of the Kyurik kingdom (1113), the Sanahin monastery experienced a bad period. At the end of the 12th century, becoming a part of the Zakarid (Zakaryan) princes as part of the Tashirk province, the monastery restored its role in the care and scientific and cultural life of the country. Large-scale construction works were carried out in that period. From the 80s of the 12th century to the 30s of the 13th century the vestibules of the Holy Savior and Surb Astvatsatsin churches were built, the bell tower, the bookstore, the guest house (not preserved), the Zakarid  family tomb, the high art of Grigor Tuteord and Sargis were erected khachkars, the Church of the Holy Savior was renovated. At the end of the 12th century, the famous Sanahin bridge was built on the Debed river, through which the road leading to the monastery passes, and a spring in the village. In the 12th-13th centuries, the fathers Grigor Tuteord (which means san of Tute), Hovhannes Khachents (teacher of Zakare and Ivane Zakaryan princes), Vardan were famous in Sanahin monastery. The abbot (Grigor son of Abbas, he was the abbot of Sanahin monastery from 1214) had a great reputation , whose book "Because of the broad and delicate writings on the question of the saints" also served as a textbook. Rabbi Grigor donated 13 manuscripts to the monastery, wrote other works. The normal activity of the monastery was interrupted again during the Mongol invasions starting from the 1230s and during their rule. At the beginning of the 14th century it weakened ին at the end of the century the ruling house of the Zakaryans was torn apart, and the village of Sanahin with its surroundings and monastery became the property of the Arghutyan-Yerkaynabazuk (Arghutyan "the Long Arms"; until the  beginning of the 20th century). In the 14th-15th centuries, the art of writing experienced a new rise in the Sanahin monastery (35 of the manuscripts written there are kept in the Matenadaran). The most memorable is the "Kotuk" of Sanahin (manuscript No. 3032), which contains the chronology of the monastery, valuable information about the history of the congregation. In the middle of the 17th century, during the leadership of Archbishop Sargis Arghutyan, the main structures of the monastery, which were damaged by earthquakes, were significantly renovated. In 1831, Archbishop Harutyun Ter-Barseghyants, the tribal leader of the monastery, built a  single spring near the northern wall (his verse inscription has been preserved on the front), decoded the inscriptions and repaired the structures. At the beginning of the 20th century, the activity of the monastery stopped. During the Soviet rule, Sanahin Monastery, as a historical and cultural monument, was under state protection, and structures were strengthened and restored. In 1998, by the decision of the Government of Armenia, it was handed over to the administration of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin.
