What’s New
Jan. 22: More detail about CT 65A as old CT 65, and the 2-lane Nichols bypass that no longer exists. Also, CT 110 in Monroe was much more crooked than the straight shot we see today.
Dec. 29: Happy holidays; this time CT 316 gets an update, with history from before its signing, and a possible northern leg that was not to be.
Dec. 3: How about a CT 128 bypass in West Cornwall? The state proposed this in 1970, to help preserve the historic covered bridge there. Residents strongly preferred reinforcing the bridge and keeping it in service.
Nov. 14: In 1958, there was a proposal to extend US 5 to Florida. It never happened, but I have more details about "Long Long Five". Also: more details on 1930s secret routes.
