Connecticut Route 125

	1.24 miles; from Route 4 to Route 128 in Cornwall. Route 125 is Connecticut's shortest signed state highway.
	In the 1920s, State Highway 125 followed a 15-mile stretch of Route 67 between New Milford (US 7) and Southbury (US 6). Today's Route 125 was commissioned in 1932, and has changed little since then. A 1938 Highway Department map shows the route extending south across Route 4, following Pine Street to end at Jewell Street, for a length of 1.46 miles. This area is Cornwall's historic town center, and town offices are still located here. Route 125 dodged a bullet in the early 1960s: the Route Reclassification in 1961 called for the route to be turned over to the town. However (and my source doesn't say why) it was decided in 1962 or '63 to retain it in the state system.
