route in route list is not shown as C (connected) but reachable

The internet gateway routerboard (A) shows a route on the router list to a second routerboard (B) on a second subnet. This is one of 4 routes and the only one that isn’t shown as connected. I can ping from the A routerboard B but not to hosts on B’s bridge. Should a route in use be marked as connected?

“connected” is the route type for directly connected networks.

Thank you for the clarification.
