The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing wrong way detection installations will take place on I-95 in Westport, Fairfield, and Norwalk. This project is scheduled to occur on Thursday, October 24 and be completed on Friday, October 25, 2024.
The Wrong Way Detection System uses video cameras to detect vehicles that are traveling in the wrong direction. If a vehicle is detected, wrong way signs outlined with multiple sets of red lights are activated and begin flashing to alert the driver they are traveling in the wrong direction. Additionally, the system alerts the CTDOT Highway Operations Center and local State Police Troop barracks in real-time, allowing staff to monitor the activities of the wrong way driver on the ramp.
