Connecticut Route 160

Route 160 begins at an intersection with the Berlin Turnpike (US 5/Route 15) in northeastern Berlin and heads east into Rocky Hill. It briefly turns south, overlapping with Route 3 before resuming its eastward direction. It overpasses I-91 without an interchange, and crosses over Route 99. After passing through the center of town, it reaches the shore of the Connecticut River, and crosses it via the Rocky Hill-Glastonbury Ferry. In Glastonbury, it continues east to end at an intersection with Route 17 in South Glastonbury. [2]

A 1.06-mile (1.71 km) section of Route 160 in Glastonbury, running from the Connecticut River to Roaring Brook, is designated a scenic road.[3]

The Rocky Hill-Glastonbury Ferry began service in 1655. In 1932, it was incorporated into the newly commissioned Route 160. Since then, Route 160 has had no major changes. In 1960, a request by the Town of Glastonbury to extend Route 160 east to the New London Turnpike, near Route 2, was declined by the state.[4]

The entire route is in Hartford County.
