Route 190 has its own page.

9.30 miles; from US 5 in East Windsor to Route 190 in Enfield.

Commissioned in 1932, Route 191 originally included only Broadbrook Road, connecting Route 140 and Route 190. This was formerly state highway 208.

In 1941, Route 191 was extended 4.6 miles west along North Street, to end at US 5. This segment is now part of Route 140.

On July 3, 1961, during a rerouting triggered by the opening of the Bradley Airport Connector on Route 20, Routes 140 and 191 swapped segments to arrive at their locations today.

From Route 190 in Enfield to US 5 in Longmeadow, Mass. 3.49 miles in Connecticut.

Commissioned in 1932; no changes since then. Even its current length matches that found in my earliest highway log. It's not exactly the type of road you could write a book about.

From Route 12 in Thompson to MA 12 (same road, actually) in Webster, Mass. 6.63 miles in Connecticut. It wouldn't be a stretch to have called it Route 12A.

At Thompson center and Route 200, Route 193 is part of the Boston Turnpike, a stagecoach toll road that connected Hartford and Boston. The turnpike was incorporated in 1797 and tolls were collected until about 1879.

In the 1920s, most of Route 193 was called State Highway 336.

State Highway 193 at the time was the name for Center Street in Easton, which from 1932 to 1963 was called Route 106.

In 1932, the modern Route 193 was created, and has not changed noticeably; though its official length did decrease by 0.03 miles between 1954 and 1978.

3.67 miles; from US 5 to Route 30, entirely in South Windsor.

Commissioned in 1932; no big changes since then. It is a bit shorter today because US 5 was relocated at East Windsor Hill in the early 1940s.

In 1996, the state proposed widening Route 194; one of the alternatives was even a four-lane boulevard. However, no widening has been done. In 1998, the intersection at Ayers and Graham road was improved for safety reasons.

Across US 5 from Route 194 is Ferry Lane, leading to the landing of the former Bissell's Ferry (and across the Connecticut River, Bissell's Ferry Road in Windsor). This was the oldest ferry (1648) in the United States, but is no longer operating. The nation's oldest continuously operating ferry (except in winter, because of ice) is on Route 160.

Extend Route 194 south along Buckland Road to I-84 in Manchester. The idea is not original; in 1995, local officials requested adding Buckland Road to the state highway system. It was widened to four lanes at about the same time.
