Connecticut Route 533

SR 533 begins at US 6/US 44/Route 85 in the northwestern portion of the town of Bolton. In Bolton it is known as Cindermill Road. It then runs north for about 0.6 miles (0.97 km) before intersecting with Lake Street and briefly entering the town of Manchester. At the Lake Street intersection, the road becomes Lake Street. It runs north for about 0.7 miles (1.1 km) before entering the town of Vernon, passing the Risley Reservoir to the east. For almost a mile the road runs north before coming to a fork in the road. Route 533 heads northeast, while Lake Street heads northwest. At this fork, the road becomes Tunnel Road. The road runs northeast for 0.9 miles (1.4 km) before entering a short tunnel to go under the Hop River State Park Trail. The road then heads north again, passing over the Tankerhoosen River and passing under Interstate 84 (I-84). I-84 is accessible from SR 533 via a pair of frontage roads– SR 541 provides access to I-84 west and SR 542 provides access to I-84 east. About 0.3 miles (0.48 km) after passing under I-84, the road intersects Route 30 and ends.[2]

In 1963, Cider Mill Road, Lake Street and Tunnel Road were given the highway designation of SR 533. Part of SR 533 was part of SR 481 before being transferred to Route 533.
