Route description
editRoute 167 begins as West Avon Road at an intersection with Route 4 in the Unionville section of the town of Farmington. It proceeds in a northeast direction, crossing into the town of Avon after 0.7 miles (1.1 km). In Avon, it continues north through the West Avon section of town for about 3.4 miles (5.5 km), passing Avon High School, Avon Middle School, Pooh's Corner, and the former site of a Lum's Hot Dog before entering the town of Simsbury. The road name changes to Bushy Hill Road after crossing the town line, where it also has a junction with US 44 and US 202. Route 167 continues generally northeast for 4.8 miles (7.7 km), then meets Route 309 (leading to West Simsbury village). Here, Route 167 turns east onto West Street and continues for another 0.7 miles (1.1 km) before ending at an intersection with US 202 and Route 10 in Simsbury Center.[1]
A section of Route 167 from Harris Road in Avon to the Simsbury-Avon town line is designated the First Company Governor's Horse Guards Memorial Highway.[3]
