History

• 1922-1931: Part of New England Interstate Highway 10 (NE-10).
• 1932: NE-10 was decommissioned and the portion south of Granby was designated as Route 9.
• 1950s-1960s: Plans for a Route 9 freeway were made. Construction began on the Old Saybrook to Cromwell segment. Several options were considered and then abandoned for the freeway portion through Hartford and points north.
• 1963: The portion of old Route 9 from Hartford to Granby was given to Route 189.
• 1969: The freeway segment from I-95 in Old Saybrook to I-91 in Cromwell was completed. Old Route 9 south of Middletown was re-designated as Route 9A (later to be designated as Route 154), while the Cromwell to Hartford segment that was not upgraded to freeway was re-designated as Route 99.
• 1979: The eastern end of the Route 72 freeway up to the Berlin Turnpike was completed, including a connector to planned Interstate 291 in New Britain. By this time, however, this portion of Interstate 291 had been cancelled.
• 1989: The Route 9 freeway was extended westward from I-91 to the Berlin Turnpike. Route 72 was truncated to end at the I-291 connector while Route 9 was extended along the deleted portion of the Route 72 freeway. Route 9 also took over the I-291 connector, which was extended in 1986 to Route 175.
• 1992: Route 9 was connected to I-84 in Farmington using a portion of the cancelled I-291 right of way, completing Route 9 as it exists today. The segment between I-84 in Farmington and I-91 in Rocky Hill serves the areas through which the southwest leg of I-291 was to be built.
