As early as 1936, the combined New England Thruway and Connecticut Turnpike were proposed and designed to relieve congestion on US 1 (Boston Post Road) and the Hutchinson River-Merritt Parkway complex.
Although the project did not start until 1950, it underscored the need to connect Boston Post Road at the Connecticut state line near the Merritt Parkway to the north, and with Eastern (Bruckner) Boulevard and the new Hutchinson River Parkway Extension, forming corridors to the Triborough, George Washington, Bronx-Whitestone and other bridges to the south.
Today, this 15 mile route that is a part of I-95 parallels the New Haven Railroad in order to make it easier for people to commute back and forth between Connecticut and New York. It is also widely traveled by people visiting Connecticut and Massachusetts as tourists as well as residents who are using the road to run errands, visit neighbors or take their children to school.
Since 1968, Smiley & Smiley, LLP, has been advocating on behalf of those who have been injured on a New England Thruway exit ramp or any section of the road where an accident takes place.
