The Bradley Airport Connector (also the Bradley Field Connector) is a 4.6-mile (7.4 km) freeway built to connect Bradley International Airport to Interstate 91 in Windsor, Connecticut. It begins at Exit 40 of I-91 and heads west following Route 20 for about 4 miles along the town line between Windsor and Windsor Locks. The expressway then turns north, leaving Route 20 and briefly becoming an unsigned state road (with designation Special Service Road 401) ending at the airport terminals.
On October 10, 1999, the Connector was named the "82nd Airborne Memorial Highway",[1] in honor of the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division. According to the Connecticut Department of Transportation, the freeway carries as many as 54,900 vehicles per day (as of 2007).[2]
