Towing and Roadside Help in Connecticut

Shoreline, valleys and hills

A Small State With Crowded Highways

Connecticut doesn't take long to cross, but its highways rarely feel empty. I-95 follows the shore for 111.57 miles from the New York line to Rhode Island. Between New Haven and New York City it ranks among the most congested highways in the country, and when it backs up, the jam spills onto the Merritt Parkway and US 1. A dead car in that traffic feels a lot worse than the same breakdown on an empty road.

Here's how the main routes lay out:

• I-95 through Greenwich, Stamford, Bridgeport and New Haven, then New London, Groton and Mystic.
• I-84 from Danbury through Waterbury and Hartford to Union.
• I-91 north from New Haven through Hartford, 58 miles in the state.
• I-395 north and south near the eastern border.
• Route 15, the Merritt and Wilbur Cross parkways. The Merritt has two lanes each way, and some of its old ramps are short and sharp, with a few ending at stop signs.
• Route 8 up the Naugatuck River Valley, and US 7 near the New York line.

When you call, give us the route, your direction and the last exit number. From there we send a partner for a tow, a jump start or fuel if you ran dry in traffic.
