CT 203

5.32 miles; from Route 32 to US 6 in Windham.

On January 26, 1999, part of Route 203, the 1.7-mile segment between Routes 32 and 14, was designated a state scenic road. A portion of Route 14 was also designated that day.

History:

Commissioned in 1932; few or no changes since then.

Future:

Two traffic issues affect Route 203 in South Windham. First, motorists increasingly use residential Tuckie Road to get to the US 6 expressway; officials want to redirect this traffic to Route 203, which has better design characteristics. Second, there has been talk of an alternate route or 203 bypass around historic Windham Center, especially for truck traffic.

Kurumi Suggests:

Renumber as part of extended Route 198.
