Interstate 395 (abbreviated I-395) is a 67-mile-long north–south Interstate Highway that begins at Interstate 95 in East Lyme, Connecticut and ends at Interstate 90 in Auburn, Massachusetts, where it becomes Interstate 290. The original designation for the freeway was Route 52. Route 52 was slated to become an extension of Interstate 290 before it received the I-395 designation in 1983.[2]
From its southern terminus to its intersection at Exit 90 in Plainfield, Connecticut with State Road 695, I-395 is also part of the Connecticut Turnpike.

[edit] Service plazas
In Connecticut, there are three Service Plazas that provide 24-hour gas stations and convenience stores. They do not have restaurants but do have phones and rest rooms.
- Montville — MP 8 - Southbound only between exits 79A and 79.
- Plainfield — MP 35 - Northbound and Southbound between exits 89 and 90.
A State Police station is located on the northbound side of the highway in Montville in what used to be another Service Plaza.
