[edit] Route description
Route 68 begins at Route 17 in Durham and winds its way through Wallingford, Cheshire, and Prospect ending at Route 63 in Naugatuck. Most of Route 68 is a two lane surface road with the exception of a 2.3-mile section in Wallingford which is a four-lane divided, access controlled road. This limited access section begins at the interchange with I-91 and ends at the grade-separated junction with U.S. Route 5. Route 68 overlaps with Route 70 in Cheshire, with both briefly overlapping Route 10 (forming a 3-way concurrency). Routes 68 and 70 continue and finally split with Route 68 heading for Prospect and Naugatuck, and Route 70 for Waterbury.
