Connecticut's               "Suicide"               Route               6               is               a               portion               of               U.S.

Route               6               that               begins               at               Bolton               Notch               where               I-384               ends               and               continues               until               the               junction               of               Route               66               and               the               Route               6               freeway               in               Windham.

This               portion               of               Route               6               is               very               dangerous               and               has               been               cited               by               Dateline               NBC               in               1998               as               one               of               the               nation's               most               dangerous               two-lane               roads.

Many               accidents               occur               on               this               11-mile               portion               of               roadway               because               of               poor               line-of-sight               distance               due               to               a               variety               of               horizontal               and               vertical               grades.

Traffic               counts               on               this               road               has               steadily               increased               in               the               past               several               years               and               is               only               expected               to               continue               to               go               up.

An               expressway               should               be               built               between               Bolton               Notch               and               Windham               that               would               connect               I-384               and               the               Route               6               expressway               in               Windham               together.

I-84's               intended               east               end               has               been               changed               twice,               from               I-90               in               Sturbridge               to               Providence,               then               back               again               to               Sturbridge               where               it               connects               today.

In               late               1968,               Connecticut               and               Rhode               Island               decided               to               reroute               I-84               east               to               Providence.

This               would               make               a               direct               route               from               Hartford               to               Providence.

The               existing               I-84               going               northeast               was               going               to               be               redesignated               as               I-86.

(see               Hartford               area               map               in               appendix)               Connecticut               built               two               isolated               sections               of               eastern               I-84,               one               in               Manchester,               which               is               currently,               called               I-384,               and               one               in               Willimantic,               which               is               currently               called               US               Route               6.

Both               of               these               sections               were               signed               as               part               of               I-84.

In               1980,               the               US               Council               on               Environmental               Quality               said               that               it               couldn't               approve               building               I-84               in               Rhode               Island               because               this               would               ruin               the               Scituate               reservoir,               Providence's               main               fresh               water               supply.

In               1983,               Connecticut               Governor               O'Neill               said               that               the               state               was               unlikely               to               get               congressional               approval               to               extend               I-84               to               I-395.

He               recommended               building               the               Bolton-Willimantic               link               and               other               improvements.

As               a               result,               Connecticut               renumbered               I-86               back               to               I-84.

The               link               between               the               two               towns,               of               course,               was               never               built.

               In               1997,               there               were               69               accidents               on               this               11-mile               portion               of               Route               6.

Currently,               Willimantic's               businesses               depend               on               Eastern               Connecticut               State               University               (ECSU)               students               and               faculty,               University               of               Connecticut               (UConn)               students               and               faculty,               and               local               residents.

An               expressway               would               encourage               residents               from               Hartford               and               Manchester               to               visit               Willimantic               and               help               the               local               Willimantic               economy.

Also               such               an               expressway               would               help               encourage               local               residents               and               students               in               the               Willimantic               area               to               visit               both               Manchester               and               Hartford.

However,               when               looking               at               building               an               expressway,               it               is               important               to               see               what               impact               this               would               have               on               the               local               environment.
               The               Environmental               Protection               Agency               (EPA)               told               the               Army               Corps               of               Engineers               on               June               15,               1998,               that               the               CTDOT's               Route               6               expressway               proposal,               alignment               49,               would               cause               "severe               impacts               to               valuable               wetlands               and               wildlife               habitat               in               central               Connecticut,               would               violate               the               federal               Clean               Water               Act,               and               should               not               be               granted               a               permit".

"Fixing               the               safety               problems               on               Route               6               can               and               must               be               done               without               ruining               one               of               the               most               environmental               valuable               landscapes               in               central               Connecticut,"               said               John               DeVillars,               administrator               of               EPA's               New               England               Office.

Of               the               four               options:               upgrading               the               existing               road,               building               an               expressway               south               of               Route               6,               building               an               expressway               north               of               Route               6,               or               building               an               expressway               that               is               partly               north               and               partly               south,               the               EPA               would               only               oppose               one,               an               expressway               entirely               north               of               Route               6.

If               CTDOT               built               an               expressway               entirely               north               of               Route               6,               it               would               destroy               44               acres               of               wetlands,               cross               several               key               sections               of               the               Hop               River,               and               would               fragment               hundreds               of               acres               of               intact               wildlife               habitat.

(EPA,               para.

3-4)               This               is               the               second               time               the               state               has               proposed               to               build               an               expressway               north               of               Route               6.

In               1989,               the               state               proposed               building               an               expressway               on               nearly               the               same               alignment               and               their               permit               was               rejected               by               the               Army               Corps               of               Engineers.

Since               then,               the               EPA               has               gone               to               dozens               of               meetings               and               wrote               many               letters               urging               the               CTDOT               to               create               other               alternatives.

"CTDOT's               endless               pursuit               of               an               expressway               that               it               has               known               for               so               many               years               is               a               nonstarter               -               leaving               Route               6's               safety               problems               unaddressed               all               the               while               -               is               plainly               wrong               from               both               an               environmental               and               a               safety               standpoint,"               said               John               DeVillars.

               The               Route               6               project               has               not               been               the               only               project               ConnDOT               has               never               finished.

Route               11               is               a               half-completed               freeway               that               goes               from               Route               2               in               Colchester               and               ends               abruptly               at               Route               82               in               Salem               (see               appendix).

The               CTDOT               in               1953               planned               for               the               road               to               continue               to               New               London               to               allow               motorists               to               connect               to               I-395               and               I-95.

Currently,               motorists               in               Salem               must               use               Route               82               and               Route               85,               both               two-lane               roads,               to               continue               to               New               London.

In               1993,               the               project               was               dropped               but               recently               has               been               reviewed               because               of               increased               traffic               due               to               the               Indian               casinos               in               Montville               and               Ledyard.

Either               alignment               18               or               25               should               be               looked               at               in               detail.

This               would               help               ease               confusion               for               motorists.
