Download or read book Route 15 written by Larry Larned and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hartford is an old New England river city separated from its eastern neighbors by the Connecticut River. With the opening of the Merritt Parkway in 1940 and construction of the Wilbur Cross Parkway inviting traffic from Boston and New York, the Connecticut legislature realized a new river bridge at Hartford would be a must for local and through traffic. This became a reality in 1942, when the Charter Oak Bridge was opened to traffic. By 1948, the system of roads and highways numbered Route 15 was completed, with Hartford as its focal point. The character of the three Connecticut parkways, the Berlin Turnpike, the Hartford Bypass, and the Charter Oak Bridge is described in Route 15: The Road to Hartford. Highway historian and retired highway engineer Larry Larned, author of Traveling the Merritt Parkway, has appeared in television and radio interviews speaking about Route 15 and the nation's early roads. Route 15: The Road to Hartford presents images from his forty years of collecting and documenting Connecticut roadside culture, architecture, and engineering. His detailed account of the road to Hartford includes personal recollections of traveling Route 15 as a youngster and studying the details along the way-the tollbooths, the bow-tied gas station attendants, the families on picnics at rest stops.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crossing the Connecticut: An Account of the Various Public Crossing of the Connecticut River at Hartford Since the Earliest Times, Together With a Full Description of Hartford Bridge The cut of the new bridge and western approach shown in the colored frontispiece is a close approximation to the work as it will appear when completed. The tunnelling or covering of the railroad tracks for a short distance north and south of the west end of the bridge is a recent change in the plans, to protect the structure from the blighting effects of smoke from locomotives. The draw indicated in the picture has been left there to show the original design that was adopted, and to show also why the western anchor pier was placed where it is, when it should have been the third pier from the west end, to correspond with its companion - the third pier from the east end, as the first plans show. This double or "anchor" pier was transferred to the west end of the bridge in order to more solidly abut and support the east end of the draw; and when permission was finally obtained from the United States Government to build the bridge without a draw, the work had so far proceeded that this double pier could not be transferred back again to its originally designed location.
