ConnecticutTowns: Andover

Overview

Andover is a small town in north central Connecticut, between Bolton and Columbia, along a busy 2-lane segment of US 6 nicknamed "Suicide 6" for the high accident rate. I-84 was once planned here; but I-84 to Providence was cancelled in 1984, and the US 6 freeway plan in its place is no longer active.
