[edit] Route Description

Route 220 begins as Elm Street at an intersection with US 5 in the Thompsonville section of the town of Enfield. It heads east, intersecting I-91 (at Exit 48) after 0.4 miles near Enfield Square Mall. Route 220 then shifts to use Shaker Road heading northeast for about three miles and intersecting with Route 192 along the way. In the vicinity of the state correctional facility, Route 220 turns north along Taylor Road. Shaker Road continues as unsigned Special Service Road 404, which leads to the main building of the correctional facility. Route 220 runs for another 1.4 miles to the Massachusetts state line, continuing as MA Route 220 towards East Longmeadow.^[1]

[edit] History

In 1936, modern Route 220 was designated as a route from Route 192 via the State Correctional Facility to the Massachusetts state line. As part of the 1962 Route Reclassification Act, the Taylor Road portion of Route 220 was to be redesignated as part of an extended Route 191. However, in 1963, the decision was reversed and Route 220 remained intact with an additional westward extension along Elm Street to US 5.^[2]
