Connecticut Route 47

Length 12.27 miles
From US 6 in Woodbury
To US 202 in Washington

Route 47 is another backcountry highway offering scenery not quite dramatic enough to be considered a state scenic road.

Numbering trivia: 47 is the only number less than 100 that has never been used for a U.S. or Interstate route.

CT 47 History

Route 47 was commissioned in 1932 from part of the old State Highway 154. It has seen no major changes since then; but a decrease in length of 0.15 miles since the 1940s hints at some minor realignments.
