TRANSPORTATION 1 OVERVIEW The transportation system in a community is an important factor in its growth and development. This element of the Plan of Conservation and Development is concerned with the means by which people and goods are moved from one place to another. It is designed to encourage, support, and serve the current and desired future land use pattern for Colchester. INVENTORY & ASSESSMENT Colchester's transportation system includes roadway circulation on a variety or road types, transit services, pedestrian sidewalks and trails and bicycle routes. Improve Roadway Circulation . . . Improve Transit Services . . . Enhance Pedestrian And Bicycle Travel . . . Pursue Transportation Coordination . . . Route 2 in Colchester 94
Limited Access Highways Route 2 in Colchester Colchester is served by Routes 2 and 11, limited access highways that connect Hartford to the New London and Norwich areas. Limited access highways are intended to move large volumes of traffic between major regional activity centers and such roads are maintained by the State of Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT). Colchester is served by six exits on Route 2 (exits 16 through 21) and one exit on Route 11 (exit 6). These limited access highways improve Colchester’s accessibility to and from other areas. However, there are only a few locations where people can travel from one side of the highway to the other. In addition, the configuration of entrance and exit ramps limits the utility of the road for local trips. 95
