ConnecticutTowns: Bozrah

Overview

This town of 2,500 west of Norwich is served by Route 2 and Route 163, though Route 82 cuts through its southeastern corner for 1.02 miles, and Route 87 sneaks in from the east for 0.18 miles.

Polly Road in Bozrah and Lebanon is an old segment of Route 2, and once led from the freeway segment (to the east) to the 2-lane segment (to the west, where the freeway toward Colchester opened later). That's the reason "Old Route 2" has two state road numbers, 616 and 608, instead of one. The road is barricaded at the bridge over the Yantic River. I'm not sure if you can hike it.
