Revised: Wrong-Way Detection System Installation on I-95 in Westbrook

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing a wrong-way detection system installation will take place on I-95 southbound, at the Exit 65 off-ramp to Route 153 in Westbrook. This project is scheduled to occur on Tuesday evening, June 24 and be completed on Wednesday morning, June 25, 2025.  The rain date will be on Wednesday evening, June 25 and be completed on Thursday morning, June 26, 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 Fiber One Plus and Tapco.
