Wilbur Cross Highway |
Direction: East/West
Western Terminus: Connecticut-Massachusetts border
Eastern Terminus: Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) in Sturbridge
I-84 is an east/west highway from Scranton, PA, to Sturbridge, MA. The section
in Massachusetts is only a few miles long, extending from the Connecticut border
to the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) in Sturbridge. It is called the Wilbur
Cross Highway, continuing the name of the section in Connecticut. (Since Wilbur
Cross was a governor of Connecticut, it is unlikely that Massachusetts would have
named a highway after him of its own accord.) While it runs primarily north and
south in Massachusetts, it is designated an east/west route for consistency with
the sections in Connecticut, New York, and Pennsylvania.
