Route 8 is the portion of the multistate New England Route 8 within the state of Connecticut. It is a state highway running north–south from Bridgeport, through Waterbury, all the way to the Massachusetts state line where it continues as Massachusetts Route 8. Most of the highway is a 4-lane freeway but the northernmost is a 2-lane surface road. ==Route description== The southern terminus of Route 8 is at an interchange with Interstate 95 in Bridgeport. The first in Bridgeport is co-signed with the freeway portion of Route 25. Approaching the split between Routes 8 and 25, the road expands to 6, 8, and even 10 lanes. Route 8 continues into Trumbull where there is an interchange with the Merritt Parkway. From Trumbull, it passes through the towns/cities of Stratford and Shelton. It then crosses the Housatonic River and continues through Derby, Ansonia, Seymour, Beacon Falls, Naugatuck, and Waterbury, following along the Naugatuck River (a tributary of the Housatonic River). There is an interchange with Interstate 84 in Waterbury, known locally as the "Mixmaster". Route 8 then continues north through Watertown, Thomaston, Litchfield, Harwinton, Torrington, and Winchester. U.S. Route 6 runs briefly on Route 8 in Thomaston (0.99 miles). The freeway portion of Route 8 ends at U.S. Route 44 in Winchester. After a short (0.33 mile) overlap with US 44, Route 8 splits off and continues as a surface road into the rest of Winchester town and the mainly rural town of Colebrook. Route 8 continues as a rural minor arterial road into Massachusetts. The section from I-95 to the Route 25 split is also known as the ''Colonel Henry Mucci Highway'' (designation continues on Route 25). The section from Shelton to Beacon Falls is known as the ''General Samuel Jaskilka Highway''. The section from Constitution Boulevard in Shelton to Route 334 at the Seymour/Ansonia town line is known as the ''Ansonia-Derby-Shelton Expressway''. The section from Waterbury to the freeway end in Winchester is known as the ''James H. Darcey Memorial Highway''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Connecticut Route 8」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
