CT 8 is a major north/south expressway in Connecticut. It begins at the
Connecticut Turnpike (I-95) in Bridgeport. It is multiplexed with CT 25 for the
first few miles, but the two routes split just south of the Merritt Parkway
(CT 15). CT 8 runs to the northeast across the Housatonic River to Derby. It
then runs north to Naugatuck and Waterbury and then into Litchfield County. The
section of CT 8 in Naugatuck is called the Ansonia-Derby Expressway; elsewhere,
the expressway has no name. CT 8 is the only limited-access highway in
Litchfield County. The expressway ends at South Main Street (US 44) in Winsted.
At this point, CT 8 is multiplexed along US 44 westbound for a few blocks before
splitting off onto Park Place East, which becomes North Main Street and then
Colebrook River Road. CT 8 ends at the Connecticut-Massachusetts border, where
it becomes MA 8.
