Wrong Way Driver Detection Installation on I84 Westbound in Waterbury

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing that Wrong Way Driver Detection Installations will be performed on I-84 westbound at Exits 22 and 25 in Waterbury. This project is scheduled to occur on Thursday, March 13, 2025. The project 0170-3638 consists of installation of the wrong way driver system on I-84 westbound in Waterbury.

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.

This project is being performed by State Forces.
