| Interstate 84 Westbound |
 |
Westbound at the Exit 6 half-diamond interchange for Connecticut 37 (North Street) to New Fairfield. This is one of several exits that also serves the Danbury area. At this point Interstate 84 is also sharing road with U.S. 6, 7 and 202. U.S. 7 and 202 joined Interstate 84 at Exit 7 and are generally not well signed along their overlap with the interstate. Connecticut 37 begins at Connecticut 53 (Main Street) in Danbury and heads 18.66 miles northward to U.S. 7 in New Milford. Photo taken 06/13/05. |

Approaching Connecticut 37 (Exit 6) on Interstate 84 & U.S. 6 west and U.S. 7 & 202 south. Exit 6 leads to the Danbury Hospital in the city or else towards Candlewood Lake. The lake is man-made and is the largest in the state. Its purpose is to store water during periods of low electrical power demand to be used when electrical power demand is high. Because of its size and proximity to New York, it's a popular recreation area. Photo taken 06/13/05. |

Exit 6 departs Interstate 84 & U.S. 6-7-202 west for Connecticut 37 (North Street). Connecticut 37 follows Padanaram and Pembroke Roads north 4.5 miles to junction Connecticut 39 (Brush Hill Road) at New Fairfield and North Street southwest one half mile to Connecticut 53 at Downs Street.

Westbound drivers pass over North Street one half mile east of the Exit 5 partial-cloverleaf interchange with Connecticut 39 (Main Street). Connecticut 39 leads northward from its beginning at Exit 5 while Connecticut 53 heads south to downtown Danbury and Bethel. Photo taken 06/13/05. |

Exit 5 joins Interstate 84 & U.S. 6-7-202 west with Connecticut 39 (Main Street) at Golden Hill Road. Connecticut 39 continues 22.76 miles through New Fairfield and Sherman northward to Connecticut 55. Connecticut 53 begins also at Exit 5, following Main and South Streets to Bethel. The state highway tallies 23.57 miles between Danbury and U.S. 1 at Norwalk. Bethel is the headquarters of the
Cannondale Bicycle Corporation. Photo taken 06/13/05. |

U.S. 6 west & 202 south split with Interstate 84 west & U.S. 7 south at the Exit 4 folded-diamond interchange with Lake Avenue. Lake Avenue Extension and Mill Plain Road carry the tandem westward, parallel to Interstate 84, to the New York state line. U.S. 6 & 202 remain overlapped to Brewster, New York.

A large diagrammatical overhead advises motorists of the U.S. 7 southbound split from Interstate 84 west (Exit 3) before the Exit 4 off-ramp to Lake Avenue. The "Super 7" as it is known locally is about a one mile freeway that transitions into a rural road before eventually going back to a four lane undivided freeway just north of the Merritt Parkway (Connecticut 15).
