State Road 504 (SR 504), also known as the Flatbush Avenue Connector, is a highway in Connecticut that runs 0.70 miles within the city of Hartford. Its northern terminus is its interchange with Interstate 84 at exit 45 and its southern terminus is its intersection with Flatbush Avenue. The entire length of SR 504 is a two-lane freeway.

History

SR 504 was once planned to be a short freeway to connect with the Berlin Turnpike (U.S. Route 5 and Route 15) near the South Meadows Expressway connector. This was once planned as part of the old planned Route 9 freeway (renumbered to the planned Route 189 freeway in 1963). Route 9 was moved westward and Route 189 never made it south from north side of Hartford. In 1963, however, the state proposed the corridor as the Cedar Ridge Connector with no number, leading from its current terminus at I-84 to U.S. 5/Route 15 in Wethersfield. The short expressway planned to include an interchange with a planned but cancelled Route 71 expressway leading to New Britain.

Future

Exit 45 is currently an incomplete interchange, with ramps only for I-84 westbound to SR 504 (left exit) and Route 504 onto I-84 eastbound. The latest plans for the region include completing the interchange, providing access to points west, and moving a ramp to eliminate the left exit. Instead of creating a fully directional interchange, the state might build a diamond interchange or variant, and possibly open up surface access from the north.
