North Frontage Road runs west through New Haven. It was originally planned that the Oak Street Connector would continue through this area with North Frontage Road and South Frontage Road as its service roads. This never actually happened, leaving service roads with no highway. The parking garage on the left is called the Air Rights Parking Garage, because its owner has air rights over the highway that was never built.
