Waterbury is at the crossroads of two major expressways, Route 84, an interstate highway running east and west, and Route 8, a state highway running north and south and thus is ideally located for businesses and consumers.

I-84 East provides direct access to Hartford, just 30 miles away, and connects with the Massachusetts Turnpike for convenient travel to Boston and the rest of New England. I-84 West provides direct access to Danbury and crosses New York and Pennsylvania with connections to Interstate 90 and Interstate 80 for easy cross-country travel.

The Route 8 is the major north/south corridor serving western Connecticut. Traveling south, Route 8 connects with Interstate 95 in Bridgeport for easy passage to New Haven, Fairfield County, New York City, Newport and Cape Cod.

Waterbury's proximity to extensive highway systems enables more than 1,000 truck lines to service the Greater Waterbury Region. One-day delivery can be made to Portland, ME, Rochester, NY, and Washington, DC. Two-day delivery can be made to Cleveland, OH, and Charlotte, NC. Three-day delivery destinations include Chicago, IL, and Atlanta, GA.
