US 5 enters three states, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont, with the latter containing over half of US 5's total distance. Throughout nearly all of U.S. 5's entire length, it remains its own road entirely separate from Interstate 91, which has largely replaced it as a through route (and now carries most of the traffic). It is only co-signed onto I-91 for less than half of a mile in Springfield, MA, before splitting off alone again.
