History

I-84 was originally supposed to cut across the Moosic Mountains in order to meet up with I-81 at Moosic.

It was extended to overlap with the I-380 in 1972 and reach the I-81 in Scranton. The I-84 was originally supposed to run from Hartford to Providence Rhode Island but environmental concerns about the Nathan Hale State Forest and Scituate Reservoir led to the cancellation of these plans.
