interstate 84 (east)

Interstate 84 runs from Scranton, Pennsylvania at an intersection with Interstate 81 to Sturbridge, Massachusetts at an intersection with the Massachusetts Turnpike (Interstate 90).

Length

I-84 between Hartford, Connecticut (Interstate 91) and Sturbridge, Massachusetts (Interstate 90) was originally Interstate 86. I-84 was to continue through Eastern Connecticut to join Interstate 95 along US 6 in Providence, Rhode Island. This project was cancelled, and the completed portion East of Hartford was renumbered Interstate 384. The eastern end of what could have been this superhighway can be seen as US 6 between I-295 and I-95 west of Providence. Many people remember the signs claiming "I-86 becomes I-84" and vice versa at a point east of Hartford where they were to split, and after the renumbering "I-86 is now I-84".

I-484 was slated to be built around Hartford, but that highway was never completed.

The eastern Interstate 84 enters New York from Pennsylvania at an unusual location. This happens to be the location where the boundaries of New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey meet. I-84 lies a mere 30 feet away from New Jersey upon crossing the state line (which is the Delaware River). In fact, at the first interchange in New York, there is signage leading to New Jersey State Highway 23.
