Route 11 - Salem, CT

I did a search for Route 11 in Salem, Connecticut and only came up with one reference to old car abandoned there, so I thought I would mentioned it here.
I'm sure a number of you have seen it or already been there personally, but for those who don't know, Route 11 in Salem ends here and for the time being, remains abandoned. While not incredibly exciting, it does lend itself to being interesting. It's a nice place to bike/walk/hike and does provide so opportunities for photographs, at least in the bridge area. The most notable attributes are the overgrown overpass structures, deserted on/off ramps and of course the deep, routed ledge. If you're into photographing discarded human junk, there's a bunch of that too. Drainage areas are blocked with large rocks or structures so I am not sure what, if any, exploring can be had there if you are into draining. Parking can be had near the DOT salt shed on the side of the road. In fact, some parked vehicles can be seen in the Sat. photo.

Huh. That's pretty cool that they even cut road cuts for it. Interesting spot!

That sounds pretty neat.

Apparently, it was supposed to tie in to where I-95 and I-395 come together.

Right, supposedly there's plans on resuming the project too. ...who knows when though.
