Exit 49 to RI

Old East-West shields at the bottom of the Exit 57 ramp; US 1 was changed to North-South awhile ago, but signs have been slow to follow.


The Exit 70 and 76 sign photos are courtesy Doug Kerr. Exit 69/70 signage is on the Connecticut River bridge carrying I-95 and US 1 together.


The latter sign is from the I-95 NB frontage road, which picks up US 1 and carries it toward the Gold Star Memorial Bridge.


More signage from both the frontage road and the main highway; US 1 joins in just after the second photo. The overhead signage is supported on hoops in New London, something not repeated anywhere else in the state, but it looks cool.


A little interesting on that EXIT ONLY tab - don't think 1 MILE is supposed to fit in there too. Also notice another BGS sans destination.


The last one is on the Exit 85 ramp.


Why does it take a supplemental sign just to give a destination? Do we really need to know that this is the Clarence B. Sharp Highway? Why not give a historical marker for this Sharp guy?


Don't crash between 11 PM and 7 AM.


Believe it or not, this is the first distance sign in Connecticut heading NB, and we're almost out of the state.


Sorry, the last photos are blurry because the sun was going down, but I had to include them just for that very odd white 216 shield, on a very oddly arranged BGS - the letters aren't the same font and don't line up, and the shield font isn't standard. The other BGS's are normal, so I don't get it.
