Connecticut Route 254

	8.41 miles; from SR 848 (Waterbury Rd) in Thomaston to Route 118 in Litchfield. As of Jan. 25, 2002, a 3.98-mile segment of Route 254 in Litchfield is designated a state scenic road. The designation runs from Camp Hill Road to Route 118.
	Commissioned in 1963 from the former SR 854, Route 254 was one of several new routes given numbers alluding to their former "secret" route numbers. In summer 1970, the southeastern 0.7 miles of Route 254 was moved to a new 2-lane highway. This had been studied since the early 1960s, while the road was still SR 854. Litchfield Road is the old alignment.
