The Connecticut Turnpike, now officially the Governor John Davis Lodge Turnpike, is a freeway and former toll road in Connecticut that runs (from southwest to northeast) from Greenwich to Killingly. The turnpike is signed as Interstate 95 (I-95) from the New York border at Greenwich to East Lyme, and then as I-395 from East Lyme to Plainfield, with short overlaps with U.S. Route 1 (US 1]) between Old Saybrook and Old Lyme, and Route 2A between Montville and Norwich. A short, unnumbered section (unsigned State Road 695) continues the turnpike where it ends at Killingly, merging into US 6 at the Rhode Island border. The turnpike is 128.47 miles (206.75 km) long; 88.48 miles (142.39 km) on I-95, 35.50 miles (57.13 km) on I-395, and 4.49 miles (7.23 km) on CT 695 and carries an annual average daily traffic of over 150,000 in some sections west of New Haven.

Most of the signage identifying the route as a "unified road" has been taken down in recent years. The easternmost section of the turnpike (SR 695) is not signed except as a connection between I-395 north and US 6. Connecticut Turnpike trailblazers can still be found, although there are very few in existence today. One of the original Connecticut Turnpike trailblazers can be seen while driving along Center Street in Southport. In 2015, exits on the I-395 and the SR 695 portions of the turnpike were renumbered based on each highway's mileage through Connecticut (e.g., exit 77 renumbered to exit 2, and the exits on SR 695 to exit 1). This renumbering of exits eliminated one of the last vestiges of the Turnpike's identity, as exit numbers on I-395 were a continuation of the turnpike's exit numbering sequence.
