Route 160 is a state highway in Connecticut running for 7.36 miles (11.84 km) from the Berlin Turnpike (US 5 and Route 15) in Berlin to Route 17 in the South Glastonbury section of Glastonbury. The road crosses the Connecticut River on the Rocky Hill - Glastonbury Ferry. It passes over I-91 in Rocky Hill with no interchange.

Route description

Route 160 begins at an intersection with US 5 and Route 15 in northeastern Berlin and heads east into Rocky Hill. In Rocky Hill, it continues east to a brief southbound overlap with Route 3. After leaving the overlap, it continues east, passing over I-91, and proceeding to the Connecticut River, which it crosses into Glastonbury via the Rocky Hill-Glastonbury Ferry. In Glastonbury, it continues east to end at an intersection with Route 17.[1][2]

Special designations

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]

History

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]
