, north of Brookfield

We start at the northern end of the northern Danbury freeway (page linked at the bottom of this one), where US 7 and US 202 pair as a surface road for some distance north. US 7 was supposed to be a freeway here, and is just copping a ride with 202 because it's a bum and couldn't get its own alignment. First photo WB/SB as the two routes split.


The northern end of the US 202 duplex. CT 67 begins on this side of the Housatonic River, but begins multiplexed with US 202 and doesn't break free until the east side. Usually the trick is to sign the route from one side but only officially begin it after it actually is its own road. Not here.


The Bulls Bridge in Kent, facing west. Click on the photo for an eastbound video crossing.


Yes, I said the Bulls Bridge is in Kent, so why (continuing northward) do we only now come to Kent? See, Kent itself is quite big, but the central town thingy known as Kent is right here. There are other town thingies within Kent. I'd be more specific than "thingy", but every state likes to use different terminology (in NJ, the outer Kent would be a township, and the inner one would be a town or village).


A second covered bridge just off of US 7, this one is actually on a state highway - CT 128. Photo is taken westbound, and if you click on the photo, you get a video that was also taken westbound.


Rounding out this page with more northbound photos, three US shields where there should only be two. There is no CT 7A, for no apparent reason, but at the border, the old Ashley Falls alignment to the left becomes MA 7A, which is quite distinct from US 7A. There is no US 7A at all, anywhere, making this an obvious sign error.
