Route 8 is the portion of the multistate New England Route 8 within the state of Connecticut. It is a 67.36-mile (108.41 km) state highway running north–south from Bridgeport, through Waterbury, all the way to the Massachusetts state line where it continues as Massachusetts Route 8. Most of the highway is a 4-lane freeway but the northernmost 8.8 miles (14.2 km) is a 2-lane surface road.
Route 8 begins at Interstate 95 Exit 27A in Bridgeport. The first 3.75 miles (6.04 km) through Bridgeport is co-signed with the freeway portion of Route 25. Approaching the split between Routes 8 and 25, the road expands to 6, 8, and even 10 lanes. Route 8 continues northeastward into Trumbull where there is an interchange with the Merritt Parkway.
