Wrong-Way Detection System Installation on Route 2 in Marlborough

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing a wrong-way detection system installation will take place on Route 2, Westbound, at the Exit 15 off ramp to Route 66 in Marlborough. This project is scheduled to start on Tuesday evening, June 24, 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.
