Wrong Way Detection Installations in Hamden, North Haven, and Hartford
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing that Route 15 southbound Exit 60 off-ramp in Hamden, I-91 northbound Exit 12 off-ramp in North Haven, and I-84 east and westbound Exit 46 off-ramps in Hartford will be closed to traffic beginning on July 10, 2024, for wrong way detection installations. The reason for the ramp closure is to complete the wrong-way system installation and to operationally test the system to verify it is functioning properly.
Project 170-3608 involves installing wrong way detection systems to reduce wrong-way crashes on high-risk freeway exit ramps. A typical wrong way detection system consists of a 360-degree camera deployed at the ramp intersection to detect vehicles traveling in the wrong direction and wrong-way signs with red circular LED lights, which are activated to flash when a wrong-way vehicle is detected. Almost all construction will occur above the ground, with the installation of additional 360-degree cameras at the intersections and corresponding revisions to the traffic signal controller.
CTDOT Project No. 170-3608 was awarded to Ferguson Electric Co., Inc. at a cost of $1,827,462.00 on October 12, 2022, and is scheduled to be completed August 4, 2024. This project is administered by the Bureau of Engineering and Construction, Office of Construction, District 3 in New Haven.
