Connecticut Route 11
Route 11 is a state highway in east-central Connecticut, serving traffic between the Hartford and New London areas (which also use Route 2). Route 11 originally was planned to be a expressway, running northwest-to-southeast, from Colchester to Waterford. However, only about half of the freeway was constructed; one end is in Salem. The delays, and eventual effective cancellation of the project in 2009, were due to funding and environmental issues; However, more recently, there has been a push to complete the expressway. This would be done by installing tolls on Route 11 to make up for the expenses.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
