Route 229 is a state highway in the western Greater Hartford area of the U.S. state of Connecticut. It runs north–south from Interstate 84 in Southington to U.S. Route 6 in Bristol. Along the way, it intersects Route 72 in the Forestville section of Bristol.

Route 229 nominally begins at the end of the eastbound Exit 31 off-ramp of I-84 in western Southington, heading northward along West Street. State maintenance and the official southern end of Route 229 actually begins about 0.01-mile (0.016 km) south of the off-ramp. West Street is four lanes wide in the vicinity of the I-84 interchange, then becomes a 3 lane (2 lanes northbound, 1 lane southbound) urban arterial as it heads north. Just south of the Bristol town line, Route 229 shifts to Middle Street and the road becomes four lanes wide.

Route 229 continues into Bristol, passing in front of the headquarters of ESPN and the access road to the Lake Compounce theme park. After crossing the Pequabuck River, it intersects Route 72. After the intersection, the road becomes King Street, and narrows to 2 lanes. It continues north for another 1.5 miles (2.4 km), passing in front of De Witt Page Park, until it reaches US 6 (Farmington Avenue) in the Edgewood section of the city.
