Editing Interstate 691 (section)

==Route description==
I-691 is the main east–west highway of the city of [[Meriden, Connecticut|Meriden]]. The freeway actually begins in [[Middlefield, Connecticut|Middlefield]] as [[Connecticut Route 66|Route&nbsp;66]], technically becoming I-691 at the junction with [[Interstate 91 in Connecticut|I-91]] (exit&nbsp;11). However, westbound signage indicates I-691 begins at the start of the freeway (just west of exit&nbsp;13), while eastbound signage shows I-691 ending at the [[Connecticut Route 15|Route&nbsp;15]] interchange (at eastbound exit&nbsp;10 about {{Convert|0.5|mi|km|disp=sqbr}} west of the interchange with I-91). To go from I-91 northbound to I-691 westbound (or from I-691 eastbound to I-91 southbound), one must actually use Route&nbsp;15. Exit&nbsp;9 westbound provides access to Route&nbsp;15 north.

West of the I-91/Route&nbsp;15 interchange, I-691 meets [[U.S. Route 5 in Connecticut|U.S. Route&nbsp;5]] (US&nbsp;5), which provides access to Route&nbsp;15 north for eastbound traffic. Exit&nbsp;7 provides access to downtown Meriden. Westbound traffic exits onto State Street Extension, while eastbound traffic enters onto Columbia Street. Exits&nbsp;6 and 5 provide access to [[Connecticut Route 71|Route&nbsp;71]], as well as access to [[Meriden Mall]]. Exit&nbsp;6 exits to Lewis Avenue, while exit&nbsp;5 exits directly to Route&nbsp;71. From here, I-691 passes along the north side of [[Hubbard Park (Meriden, Connecticut)|Hubbard Park]] as well as by [[Castle Craig]] before it crosses into [[Southington, Connecticut|Southington]]. It then meets the eastern end of [[Connecticut Route 322|Route&nbsp;322]] at exit&nbsp;4. It then crosses the [[Quinnipiac River]] into [[Cheshire, Connecticut|Cheshire]], where it has an interchange with [[Connecticut Route 10|Route&nbsp;10]], then continues west to end at [[Interstate 84 in Massachusetts|I-84]] in Southington. The highway officially ends as it merges into I-84 west.
