the Connecticut Turnpike

The New London bridge.

Why is I-95 called the CT Turnpike? It used to be tolled, but those were removed long ago. Good thing, as traffic frequently moves at 40 MPH or below during midday (non-rush hour) times. The Turnpike itself follows I-395 to US 6 and ends at the CT border, though both 95 and 395 extend past it to the RI and MA borders, respectively.

Cross streets at I-95


2003 construction on the I-95 roadway over Bridgeport.


As of April 2004, almost all of the old roadway has been replaced, except for a narrow strip; I have no idea why that's still there. You can see the new SB lanes progressing smoothly.
