In the 1920s, State Highway 153 followed today's Route 82. The modern Route 153 was commissioned in 1932; it's changed little (or none) since then. Some maps show the northern end following Westbrook Rd. to end at the old Route 80 (now Route 154) in Centerbrook, instead of following Plains Rd. On Jan. 2, 1967, there was a definite change on the north end, from Westbrook Rd. (which became SR 604) to Plains Rd. (former SR 605). This resulted from the opening of the Route 9 freeway in the area. |
