Old EB shieldage in Bristol (same can be said of the top photo).


Old EB BGSage leaving said locality. Top photo is end of Riverside Ave., second photo (above) is corner of School and West Streets, and this is Memorial Blvd. and Middle St. - thanks to Shawn Begin for this information.


Now to enter the CT 72 freeway, which was meant to be part of something much longer. Part of it was taken over by CT 9 to the east, but it was meant to go way west toward CT 8. Of what did get built (and there's no reason to have built more), the rest of the old road became CT 372.


EB, these exit numbers have gotten inflated for the very reason that there were supposed to be a couple more exits to the west of the completed freeway, but they should have come down by now.


Until CT 9 was extended to I-84, CT 72 followed the right fork (there was no left fork) and kept going down toward Berlin and I-91. Now, 72 ends here.
