Today’s Featured Route
What’s New
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.
Sept. 24: Preston fans! More detail on CT 164 and CT 165, from about 90 years ago. (Bonus: CT 93 information in Pomfret.)
Sept. 20: Almost famous: CT 58 was nominated to be a National Scenic Byway, alongside CT 169 and the Merritt Parkway. However, unlike the other two routes, it did not make the cut.
Sept. 11: My bad, CT 49. I had details of your creation in 1932 incorrect. And: CT 34 is officially no longer a freeway.
Sept. 2: CT 322, which started as a short unsigned road in Wolcott, now is nearly 10 miles long and intersects two interstates. Some people, though, don't like the number.
Aug. 28: more details for CT 106, the only state route to be mentioned in "The Office".
Aug. 24: more deep-dive (up to 90 years ago) history for CT 29, CT 35A, and CT 102.
