The Mystic River Bascule Bridge carrying US 1 over the Mystic River in Connecticut. US 1 in Connecticut largely parallels I-95 and has many interchanges with it. The route passes through each city and town of Connecticut bordering the Long Island Sound (in addition to the town of Orange).

NY 25 is carried from Manhattan to Queens by way of the double-decked Queensboro Bridge over the East River.
