The Route 66 Corridor Planning Study was conducted by the Lower Connecticut River Valley Council of Governments on behalf of the Towns of Portland and East Hampton. The purpose of the Study was to develop a comprehensive transportation improvement plan for Route 66, within the study area, and provide a planning document for the Towns, RiverCOG and State to facilitate the identification and programming of funding to support implementation of transportation system improvements to address existing and future needs and deficiencies and support future economic development goals.

The study area (Figure 1-1) includes approximately 11 miles of Route 66 in the Towns of Portland and East Hampton.
