Connecticut Route 192

Length 5.71 miles; 3.49 miles in Connecticut.
From Route 190 in Enfield
To US 5 in Longmeadow, Mass.

Perhaps the unassuming Route 192 is the quintessential state highway for the Land of Steady Habits. It hasn't changed in 80 years – no call for it – cooperates across state lines, and, though well thought of locally, is overshadowed by its busier neighbors.

CT 192 History

Commissioned in 1932; no changes since then. Even its current length in-state matches that found in my earliest highway log. It's not exactly the type of road you could write a book about.

In 1939, Massachusetts designated a matching Route 192 extending from the state line to Longmeadow.
