Notes on Tourist Routes Through Connecticut and New England
The east side of the Thames River between New London and Norwich is now the best way to go. The inside route to the Berkshires and the road north from Pittafield through North Adams and Manchester to Burlington are in pretty fair shape. The Connecticut Valley route to the Green and White Mountains has little construction, as do the three trunk lines crossing New Hampshire via the White Mountains. The Shore Road from Barton to Portland is open with no construction and in excellent condition.
