The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing a wrong way detection activations will take place at various locations in Cromwell, Windsor, Farmington and South Windsor. This project is scheduled to occur on Monday, August 18 and be completed on Thursday, August 21, 2025.
The locations of this work are the following:
- Route 9 Northbound at Exit 27 in Cromwell
- I-91 Northbound at Exit 36 in Windsor
- I-84 East and Westbound at Exit 37 in Farmington
- I-291 Eastbound at Exit 2 in South Windsor
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 Wethersfield maintenance garage
