Default Re: New England Meet

Here are the travel directions that the Model A Ford Club of Long Island is following.
Connecticut Route 8 The first few miles through Bridgeport runs concurrently with Connecticut Rt 25. Approaching the split between Routes 8 & 25, the road expands to several lanes. Stay in right lane & follow the Rt 8N signs. In Naugatuck exit from Rt 8 to Rt 68 East.
[IMG]file:///C:/Users/model/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.jpg[/IMG]Connecticut Route 68 is a scenic country road and it joins Connecticut Rt 70. Rt 68 has a few turns at intersections where the route signs are difficult to spot. Generally, stay to the right at intersections enroute to Rocky Hill. A restroom stop will be made at a gas station on Rt 68. In Yalesville, after passing under the Wilbur Cross Pkwy, Rt 68 intersects US 5. Exit onto US 5 North (left) also known as the Berlin Turnpike.

US 5 North As you turn onto US 5, there is a small shopping center immediately on the right. Turn into the shopping center where there is a restaurant for lunch on our trip to Rocky Hill:
Wood-n-Tap, 970 N. Colony Rd, Wallingford, Ct, 1-202-265-0663
Leaving the shopping center turn righ onto Rt 5. Stay on US 5 through Tracy, Meriden, Worthington and into Berlin. In the northern part of Berlin, exit right onto Rt 160 East.

Rt 160 East goes east into Rocky Hill. In Rocky Hill turn right onto Rt 3 South.
Rt 3 South (AKA Cromwell Ave) runs south to West St. West St. A landmark for West St is a Radison Hotel that will be at the corner and on your left. Turn left onto West St and stay in the right lane.

West St has a junction with Capital Blvd a short distance east of the interstate. Turn right onto Capital Blvd and the Sheraton Hartford South Hotel entrance is the first driveway on the right at 100 Capital Blvd.
