Connecticut Route 318

Route 318 is a state highway in northern Connecticut running entirely in Barkhkamsted.

Description

Route 318 begins at an intersection with US 44 in Barkhamsted and heads east-northeast. It overlaps Route 181, heading east, to cross the West Branch Farmington River, then continues east over the Saville Dam past Lake McDonough, ending at a "Y" intersection with Route 219.
The section of Route 318 from Route 181 to Route 219 is designated a scenic road.

History

Route 318 was commissioned from SR 860 and SR 418 in 1963 and has had no significant changes since. SR 418 was first designated as a state road in 1937 from Route 181 to the Saville Dam. This was extended across the dam two years later. SR 860 was taken over by the state in 1957.
