[edit] Route description

I-384 serves as the main interstate transportation artery for southern Manchester, beginning right before the East Hartford/Manchester town line and having four of its six exits within southern Manchester. The two major stops off the highway include the Spencer Street commercial shopping district located at Exit 1 and the Main Street/Downtown Manchester area off Exit 3.

The highway is 8 lanes wide west of Route 83, 6 lanes wide to Route 85, and four lanes wide for the rest of the highway's duration.

[edit] Special designations

Since May 31, 1996, Interstate 384 has been officially known as the State Trooper Russell A. Bagshaw Highway, in memory of a Connecticut State Police trooper who was killed in the line of duty.

[edit] History

Prior to 1984, Interstate 384 was designated Interstate 84. During that time, Interstate 84 east of the East Hartford junction was Interstate 86.
