The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing wrong way detection activations will take place on I-95 at Exit 40 southbound in Milford, Exit 42 northbound in West Haven, Exit 44 southbound in New Haven and Exit 54 southbound in Branford. This project is scheduled to occur on Monday, July 21 and be completed on Tuesday, July 22, 2025.
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 State Forces.
