	CT 8 Expressway
		A NEW EXPRESSWAY FOR THE ROUTE 8 CORRIDOR:
		As for the old Route 8's path through the Naugatuck State Forest, I seem to remember that the northbound and southbound roadways were separated; the southbound roadway is the current alignment along the river, while the northbound roadway was to the east of the present roadway and a lot higher on the bank.
		A drive down the 58-mile-long CT 8 Expressway provides a diverse vista of Connecticut, from the historic industrial towns of Bridgeport and Waterbury, to the modern, sprawling suburbs of eastern Fairfield County, and from the natural beauty of the Naugatuck River valley, to the forests of northwest Litchfield County.

	Pittsburgh Highways: Route 30 Relocation (Cancelled)
		The expressway was proposed to relieve the current US 30 alignment of congestion.
		A second section of the Route 30 Relocation would have begun on the eastern side of the Greensburg Bypass at the Mount Pleasant/Greensburg interchange and continue east to Latrobe.
		The right-of-way would have been upgraded to an expressway from that point to Ligonier, with an interchange built at PA 259.

	Connecticut Routes 260-299
		Route 262 is used primarily in both towns for its southern access to Route 8.
		Route 262 was extended south along Waterbury Road and Thomaston Avenue, former Route 8, to the new alignment of Route 8 at Huntingdon Avenue.
		Route 262 was removed from the Spruce Brook Road to Huntingdon Avenue portion; SR 848 was removed from Spruce Brook Road to Frost Bridge Road.

	Building the Missing Link
		The 15 mile (still unbuilt) section of the Route 7 Expressway between Grist Mill Road in Norwalk and Sugar Hollow Road in Danbury continues to be a battleground between proponents and opponents of constructing the highway almost 50 years after the highway was proposed.
		Expressways were proposed for Routes 25 and 34, but the same opposition that places the Route 7 expressway in jeopardy, effectively killed those expressways in the early 1990s.
		Out of the three routes that were proposed in the 1950s, the Route 7 expressway is still a viable option, and the increasing severity of congestion and accidents along Routes 7, 25, and 34 warrant the expressway's construction as soon as possible.

	Connecticut Route 25 and 25A
		Route 25 begins overlapped with the Route 8 expressway, then forks northwest on its own six-lane expressway toward Newtown.
		The Route 34 interchange at I-84 Exit 11, constructed in 1973, was the planned northern terminus of the Route 25 expressway.
		Have a median on Route 25 and SSR 490.

	Connecticut Routes 8, 8A
		Route 8 is one of the original New England Interstates, early 1920s 2-lane roads that crisscrossed New England and kept consistent numbering.
		As plans developed to upgrade Route 8 to a freeway, its south end was relocated to downtown Bridgeport; this was done on Sept. 27, 1951, with Routes 110 and 113 moving close to where they are now, and Route 65 being retired.
		This four-lane road was widened in 1942, and was the last section of Route 8 to be upgraded to a freeway, decades later.

	CT 72 Expressway
		In its original configuration, the four-to-eight lane expressway was to connect I-91 and the CT 9 Expressway to the east in Cromwell with the CT 8 Expressway to the west in Thomaston.
		The expressway was to provide an alternative to the two-lane US 6, which offered limited visibility through hilly terrain, through Plymouth west to the CT 8 Expressway.
		The CT 72 Expressway should be extended west from Plainville as a four-lane, controlled-access facility to the CT 8 Expressway in Thomaston.

	The Committe to Expand Route 7 from Norwalk to Danbury, CT
		The failure of the State DOT to complete Route 7 is a perfect example of the corrupt bureaucratic structure in the State of Connecticut.
		Politicians in the Route 7 corridor are likely getting thousands (if not millions) of dollars slipped into their wallets by opponents and environmental groups who oppose the highway's construction.
		Routes 25 and 34 fell victims to the lies and propaganda of opponents who believe the life of a tree is more important than a human life.

		The original Connecticut Route 8 was constructed during the early 1920s, from the present-day intersection of US-1 and CT-110 in Stratford to the Massachusetts State Line.
		The routing of Route 8 between Stratford and Ansonia has changed several times between 1948 and 1962, when the first segment of highway between Shelton and Seymour was constructed.
		Nonetheless, the Connecticut DOT has spent the last several years on improving the expressway’s substandard sections: the Route 8 mainline was reconstructed between Exits 14 and 16 from 1986 to 1998, including widening of the Commodore Hull Bridge and replacement of the bridge over Route 34 at Exit 15.

	CT 25 Expressway
		Nevertheless, construction of the CT 25 Expressway continued north of the interchange, and by 1975, a 2.5-mile, six-lane stretch north of Trumbull was built at a cost of $19.2 million.
		Beginning as an eight-lane freeway through urbanized areas in Bridgeport, the route was to narrow to four lanes after it separated from the CT 8 Expressway in Trumbull.
		The CT 25 Expressway was to terminate at I-84 (Yankee Expressway), EXIT 11.

	Connecticut Roads
		New England Interstates This is why Routes 8, 10, 12, and 32 go north-south and cross into many other states; they were part of a New England-wide road network set up in the early 1920s.
		Color-coded Route Markers In 1948, the state began experimenting with color-coded route markers in cities: each through route would have its own color, to aid in navigation.
		For specific routes, try Route 105 in Fairfield County; or Route 130 in Kent; I-82 in eastern Connecticut; or a driving trip along the original Route 8.

	Kennedy Assassination: Changed Motorcade Route?
		On November 8, when Lawson was briefed on the itinerary for the trip to Dallas, he was told that 45 minutes had been allotted for a motorcade procession from Love Field to the luncheon site.
		This route, eventually selected for the motorcade from the airport to the Trade Mart, measured 10 miles and could be driven easily within the allotted 45 minutes.
		The route chosen from the airport to Main Street was the normal one, except where Harwood Street was selected as the means of access to Main Street in preference to a short stretch of the Central Expressway, which presented a minor safety hazard and could not accommodate spectators as conveniently as Harwood Street.

	Mid-County Expressway-Blue Route (I-476)
		BLUE ROUTE: The third route was a central alignment that paralleled the PA 320 corridor.
		The proposed route, which was to be six lanes along its entire length, differed from the current configuration in that it was to feature cloverleaf interchanges at US 1 (Media Bypass), PA 3 (Baltimore Pike) and US 30 (Lancaster Avenue), and a partial diamond interchange at PA 320 (Sproul Road).
		The northernmost section of the "Blue Route" was completed in December 1992, one year after an important 16.5-mile-long section from I-76 south to I-95 opened to traffic, and 13 years after the initial section north of I-76 opened to traffic.

	Where will the pedestrians walk? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Pedestrians walk along expressways because there is no alternative in most cases [see map], a result of the hierarchical street pattern used since the 1950s.
		They argued that "expressways are unsafe for bicycles" solely for the political purpose of opposing repeal of prohibitions even from the 8-foot wide shoulders that were standard at the time so they could use the entire right of way for automobiles after future lanes would be added.
		Where adding a lane or grade separation on expressways, the funding for sidewalks or pedestrian paths must be part of the cost of constructing the lane or grade separation and not funded from pedestrian funds.

	UticaMarsh
		When the Expressway was built across the Mohawk Valley Floodplain between north Utica and the rest of the city in the 1970s, it restricted the flow of floodwaters and created a huge marsh.
		To the east, for much of the year, are acres of open water where travelers along the Expressway (Route 8 and 12) often see ducks, geese, seagulls and an occasional great blue heron or snowy egret.
		Most people see the Marsh from the Expressway, so depending on the season all they see are lots of water, acres of purple loosestrife, flocks of ducks and gaggles of geese.

	80/94 On the Move to Improve
		As work progresses throughout the Kingery Expressway (I-80/94) corridor, the Illinois Department of Transportation is announcing its plan for full expressway closures this summer as crews construct a massive flyover bridge in Chicago’s south suburbs.
		As a reminder, the ramp from eastbound I-80/294 to the inbound Bishop Ford Expressway (westbound I-94) was permanently closed earlier this spring.
		James Cape and Sons Company was awarded a contract valued at $33,333,333 to reconstruct the interchange connecting the Kingery Expressway (I-80/94), Bishop Ford Expressway (I-94), Tri-State Tollway (I-80/294), and Illinois Route 394.

	Pittsburgh Highways: Route 8 Expressway (Cancelled)
		The expressway was proposed to begin at an interchange with the Penn-Lincoln Parkway East and Route 30 Relocation near the current Edgewood/Swissvale interchange.
		From that point, it would have supplanted Washington Boulevard to the Allegheny River and crossed the river in the vicinity of the Pittsburgh Zoo/PPG Aquarium east of the Highland Park Bridge.
		A feasibility study was completed in the early 1960s on the alignment, and was projected to be 55% completed by September 10, 1964.
