Chamberlain Highway (today's Route 71), continuing to existing Route 71.Hanover Road and Bradley Road, to West Main St (today, locally maintained).Hanover Ave., from Old Colony Road to Main St (today, this is part of Route 70).Route 71's original journey through Meriden differed from where it is today. That did take place (and it's difficult to imagine any homeowner or business owner preferring the "Cat Hole" name.) In an October 10 dedication (though the road had already been in use for a few weeks), officials remarked that the road would probably be renamed to Chamberlain Highway, to honor two brothers prominent in state history who often used the road. This newly paved 7-mile road shortened the trip from New Britain to Meriden by several miles. In 1935, Route 71 was extended southward to Meriden, along a road formerly known as Cat Hole Pass Road, or Cat Hole Road. Later, US 6A became US 6.Īlso in 1934, Route 71 incorporated old SR 751 in Berlin but I have no information on what street that was. Route 71's northern end was moved back to the rotary (which is no longer there), where South Road now meets Route 71 at Corbins Corner. In 1934, US 6A was designated along the east-west portion of New Britain Ave. is divided among Route 71, Route 173, SR 530, and city maintenance. continuing east and northeast into Hartford, ending at Webster St. Hartford Road (also part of today's Route 71), which becomes New Britain Ave.resumes on the opposite side of the freeway. in two locations: one at South St., where part of Stanley St. The construction of Route 9 severed Stanley St. Stanley St., continuing north to Hartford Rd.(part of which is now called Veterans Dr) (part of today's Route 71), from Farmington Ave. (I don't have a definite answer on the northern terminus). Commissioned in 1932, Route 71 originally extended from Route 72 (now Route 372) in Kensington to US 5 or US 5A in Hartford.
