History

South of Wauregan, I-395 was originally part of the Connecticut Turnpike, which also includes I-95. On January 2, 1958, the section from Flanders to Wauregan opened to traffic, covering 58 kilometers. The turnpike then branched off to South Killingly on the Rhode Island border . Construction began on the remainder of I-395 as far as Worcester in Massachusetts in 1964. In 1967 the first part of this opened over 18 kilometers to Putnam. In 1969, I-395 reached the Massachusetts border, but it wasn’t until 1977 that the last section in Massachusetts was also opened. The highway was then numbered State Route 52 in Connecticut. In 1983, the route was renumbered to I-395.
