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. ["State Ordered To Lift Ban on Tandem Trucks." "Hartford Courant", June 14, 1983. The article lists "I-290 (formerly Route 52)" as one of the highways the lifting of the ban applies to.]

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.
