The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing a wrong way detection installation will take place on I-95 northbound at Exit 5, Route 7 northbound at Exit 2 and Route 15 southbound at Exit 31 in Greenwich and Norwalk. This project is scheduled to occur on Wednesday, October 23 and be completed on Thursday, October 24, 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.

The work is being performed by TAPCO and State Forces.
