Wrong Way Detection Installations on I-384 and I-84 in Manchester and East Hartford
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing that I-384 eastbound Exit 3 off-ramp, I-84 eastbound Exit 63 off-ramp in Manchester and I-84 westbound Exit 58 off-ramp in East Hartford will be closed to traffic beginning on Tuesday, July 9, 2024 for wrong way detection installations. The reason for the ramp closure is to complete to installation of the wrong way system and to operationally test the system to verify it is functioning properly.
Project 170-3608 involves the installation of 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.
