Connecticut Route 75
Route 75 in the U.S. states of Connecticut and Massachusetts is a 17.5-mile (28.2 km) scenic route connecting the Hartford and Springfield areas. The route begins at Route 159 in the town of Windsor, Connecticut and ends at the junction of Route 159 and Route 147 in the city of Agawam, Massachusetts.
The route acquired its modern designation in the 1932 state highway renumbering, becoming a loop route off then U.S. Route 5A (modern Route 159) through the town center of Suffield. In 1950, the north end was realigned to extend into Agawam. The portion in Agawam is a municipal road and is not a state highway (i.e. not a state-maintained road).

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
