Follows I-384 West to I-84 West to CT-15 South across the Charter Oak Bridge to I-91 North through Downtown Hartford with a little excursion on the Whitehead Highway.
Hi Jim, Thanks for posting this video. My brother lives in Manchester and travels to Hartford everyday to work. I am sitting here in Bangalore, India; and showed my aged parents how their son travels to work daily. They enjoyed the ride and have given their appreciation to you. Keep up the good work Jim.
Born in Hartford and raised in Manchester. Family still lives in Hartford/Manchester. I love and appreciate this video. Makes me feel like I’m at home. Been away in the Army for over 28yrs.
Great vid! I am always impressed- it's also nice to see east-coast highways and see how different they are compared to the highways of the midwest. It's always nice to see your vids! Safe journeys my friend!
Cool vid. I'll be in Hartford in April and good to get a preview--the Capitol area looks green and clean. Also, like your inclusion of historic facts on highways, bridges, etc. Good work.
I really enjoyed driving around Hartford; I can't recall seeing a better designed freeway network in New England. A good mix of modern and historic freeways. This was fun to watch. On a side and unrelated note, I thought it was really sad when Hartford and the entire state of Connecticut lost their only sports team in the Hartford Whalers. Is their former arena still standing today?
0:43 That 1994 map sure shows a lot of ramps, where there's supposed to be highway markings. . . 1:04 Now HERE'S a New England highway I have never been on. Not yet at least. 3:44 I wonder why it was rebuilt? I never saw it before it happened, or at least I don't remember. 4:50 The other HOV Lane in Connecticut I never get to see. I wonder how long it is. . . GREAT VIDEO, JIM! I go to Hartford, CT a lot, you know.
Thanks Queston on most derections from Boston to NY city why they want you to go out on mass pike west to I-84 w to Hartford then I-91 south back to I-95 why not use I-93 south to I-95 south (it will cost you less, and just one shot of I-95 south throught Providence, and CT coast to NY city) insted of going out the coast.
The Nathan Hale State Forest and the Scituate Reservoir are the main reasons why. Extending I-384 to Willimantic has been delayed many times due to the forest and wetlands in the area.

Smooth, soothing ride Jim, just my antidote to a stressful work week!!! Good job...
Thank you, always glad to help :)
Nice video Jim! Love those freeways there, And such thought on HOV lanes!

Great video and love Rush. Analog Kid is a bop.
Thank you!

Thank you for watching!
Analog Kid is, IMHO, the best Rush song ever made. Awesome that you used it in this video (which is pretty good on its own!).
love all your video's, scares me to think I drove through there, from Nova Scotia to Florida. thanks
That is pretty neat, thank you so much for sharing that with me.

Thank you!

Actually I-95 is 50 miles south of here, but yes from Boston to Washington is quite the stretch of population density, aka "The Megalopolis"
No, just I-91 north passing through on the way to Albany, got a nice tour done there.
I think the arena is still there, I heard talk of them getting another team at some point.
Thanks, that is the exception to the rule, New England is not very sprawled/spread out in general.
Not really though, once you go North of Boston, isn't I-95 rural?
traveled on I-84 and I-91 as freeways in hartfod
4:41 in... quite an impressive stack of roads.
Thanks, go back about 10 or so videos, I shot a few in NYC.
You're welcome, thanks for the offer but I prefer to film and work with my own footage.
4:03 is a rare instance of traffic entering a rotary having right of way over traffic in it.
Ooh, Springfield. Interesting city. Are you doing anything else besides 91 in Springfield?
Thanks Queston on most derections from Boston to NY city
why they want you to go out on mass pike west to I-84 w to Hartford then I-91 south back to I-95
why not use I-93 south to I-95 south (it will cost you less, and just one shot of I-95 south throught Providence, and CT coast to NY city) insted of going out the coast.
Why was the plan on extending i-84 to Providence Canceled?
NIMBY people.
The Nathan Hale State Forest and the Scituate Reservoir are the main reasons why. Extending I-384 to Willimantic has been delayed many times due to the forest and wetlands in the area.
Did you use US-6 from Providence to Hartford?
Yes, we did!
I know this song by RUSH....it's "The Analog Kid" from the CD "Signals".
Hartford is the home of UConn that plays basketball at that arena.
1:59 does the sign really say that or did you mistype it? it says N.Y CitY.
That is a photo of the actual sign, not a typo on my part.
Why can't we watch the I 91 video in Springfield?
Why
+Forever Demi Why what?

Rhode island should have accept the plan, so it won't be the poorest area.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thanks!
