History
Signage on I-91 for the Whitehead Highway
It is signed as "Exit 29A - Capitol Area" on I-91 and has the unsigned designation of State Road 598 (SR 598). There are two intermediate exits (at Columbus Boulevard and Prospect Street) from the highway before its western terminus at the Pulaski Circle.
Interstate 484
Whitehead Highway was originally to be part of Interstate 484, an auxiliary route of I-84. The highway was to be upgraded via straightening and bridge improvements and brought through a short tunnel under the state capitol to connect to I-84 at exit 48. This would have reduced the traffic load at the intersection of I-91 and I-84 in downtown Hartford. The extension, first proposed in 1968, was cancelled in 1983. The route was never signed as I-484.[1][2]
