Follows I-384 West to I-84 West to CT-15 South across the Charter Oak Bridge to I-91 North through Downtown Hartford with a little excursion on the Whitehead Highway.
Hi Jim, Thanks for posting this video. My brother lives in Manchester and travels to Hartford everyday to work. I am sitting here in Bangalore, India; and showed my aged parents how their son travels to work daily. They enjoyed the ride and have given their appreciation to you. Keep up the good work Jim.
Born in Hartford and raised in Manchester. Family still lives in Hartford/Manchester. I love and appreciate this video. Makes me feel like I’m at home. Been away in the Army for over 28yrs.
Great vid! I am always impressed- it's also nice to see east-coast highways and see how different they are compared to the highways of the midwest. It's always nice to see your vids! Safe journeys my friend!
Cool vid. I'll be in Hartford in April and good to get a preview--the Capitol area looks green and clean. Also, like your inclusion of historic facts on highways, bridges, etc. Good work.
I really enjoyed driving around Hartford; I can't recall seeing a better designed freeway network in New England. A good mix of modern and historic freeways. This was fun to watch. On a side and unrelated note, I thought it was really sad when Hartford and the entire state of Connecticut lost their only sports team in the Hartford Whalers. Is their former arena still standing today?
0:43 That 1994 map sure shows a lot of ramps, where there's supposed to be highway markings. . . 1:04 Now HERE'S a New England highway I have never been on. Not yet at least. 3:44 I wonder why it was rebuilt? I never saw it before it happened, or at least I don't remember. 4:50 The other HOV Lane in Connecticut I never get to see. I wonder how long it is. . . GREAT VIDEO, JIM! I go to Hartford, CT a lot, you know.
Thanks Queston on most derections from Boston to NY city why they want you to go out on mass pike west to I-84 w to Hartford then I-91 south back to I-95 why not use I-93 south to I-95 south (it will cost you less, and just one shot of I-95 south throught Providence, and CT coast to NY city) insted of going out the coast.
The Nathan Hale State Forest and the Scituate Reservoir are the main reasons why. Extending I-384 to Willimantic has been delayed many times due to the forest and wetlands in the area.
