Connecticut's West Rock Tunnel,

the costliest of 69 Wilbur Cross Parkway projects, is the state's first vehicular tunnel.  Consisting of twin bores 1200 feet in length, it carries divided traffic lanes through West Rock, New Haven, about 200 feet below the summit of the ridge.  Work on the $2,000,000 project was started in March 1948.  The facility was opened to traffic on November 1, 1949.
