Connecticut Routes 25-29

28.59 miles; from I-95 in Bridgeport to US 7/202 in Brookfield. See the Route 25 page.

3.21 miles; from US 1 to Route 184 in Stonington. Passes near Mystic Seaport and Mystic Aquarium.

Route 27 was commissioned in 1950, using parts of today's Route 117, Route 2A, and the Colonel Ledyard Highway to connect Route 12 to Route 184 through Ledyard. At the time, today's Route 27 in Stonington was called Route 169 (and in the 1920s, Route 344).

In 1951, Route 27 absorbed the old Route 169, extending to US 1. In the route reclassification of 1963, the northern route was deleted, Route 117 was created, and Route 27 became the short road it is now.

Extend (renumber) northward along Route 201 to Route 12 in Griswold.

No longer assigned. Commissioned in 1932; until 1967, it was the original number for what is now Route 124. Entering New York, Route 29 became NY 394, which is now numbered NY 124. There were two other instances (CT 4 - NY 343 and CT 33 - NY 116) where the states got together to agree on a common route number.

The 1932 official highway map has Route 29 following today's Route 123 south of New Canaan, and today's Route 124 north of there. By 1934, these highways were swapped in the south to the modern-day 123 and 124 alignments. Curiously, the same thing happened to Routes 104 and 137 in neighboring Stamford.

Routes 26 and 28 have never existed, though Route 28 has been mentioned in a William Schoell novel (Spawn of Hell), serving a northwestern Connecticut town he intended to remain fictional.
