    Just wondering if anyone knows if route 34 in Connecticut is a good truck route. Just trying to cut some miles between 84 and 8.

    Yes, it is. At least, big rigs are allowed.

    I travel Rte34 all the time from my office in Shelton to see clients in Danbury. There's plenty of big rigs on that road all day long.

    It is a truck route, I drive down it for work quite often and see 53' every time. The only tight part is when the road crosses the dam over the river, then the road runs along the river until route 8.

    Yes it is. 53' OK, just mind the dam crossing (as in take up the whole road entering and exiting). Other than that and some tighter spots along the river, it's fine. Used to run it from 84 down to Newtown fairly frequently.

    Per our GIS.

    CT-34 is an STAA approved truck route with no restrictions from I-84 to CT-8.
