Route description
Route 47 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 6 in North Woodbury and heads northwestward as Washington Road. It crosses the Nonnewaug River Шаблон:Convert later, then Route 132 (for Bethlehem) splits off to the north after another Шаблон:Convert . The road then travels for Шаблон:Convert through rural northwestern Woodbury and enters the town of Roxbury. Route 47 travels briefly through the northeast corner of Roxbury where it is known as Washington-Woodbury Road. After Шаблон:Convert, Route 47 then enters the town of Washington, becoming Woodbury Road. After another Шаблон:Convert through rural southern Washington, Route 47 meets with Route 199 in the town center.

History
In October 1803, the Woodbury to Washington road was chartered as a toll road known as the Washington Turnpike. It ran from Woodbury center through Washington center up to the village of New Preston. The turnpike used modern Route 47 from Woodbury to Washington Depot, then used Baldwin Hill Road to reach New Preston. In 1922, most main highways in Connecticut were now managed by the state highway department. The Washington Turnpike alignment had been designated as State Highway 154. The new state highway had a slightly different northern alignment, using Bee Brook Road instead of Baldwin Hill Road. In the 1932 state highway renumbering, old Highway 154 became Route 47. No major changes have occurred since then.[2][3]
