Connecticut Route 11 runs 7.6 miles; from Route 2 in Colchester to Route 82 in Salem. Nicknamed "Route 5½," Route 11 is a half-completed freeway.  Originally planned to run 10 miles further south to I-95 in Waterford, funding and environmental difficulties caused the state to give up on Route 11 in the early 1990s.  With the growth of tourism in southeastern Connecticut, including two casinos, Mystic Seaport, and easier access to CT & RI beaches, the state and local towns goverments have rekindled the issue.
