>>1072128Was actually close to happening to my grandpa's land in rural nw Connecticut. He said his land was surveyed to be part of a highway for rt 72, although I suspect that it was actually for rt 4. On this map you can see both 4 and 72 planned to head west past Bristol, although from what I gather, the proposed route for 72 would have been somewhat south of my grandpa's land.
A bit of history on routes 72 and 4
