The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is developing plans to install wrong way driving detection systems at 45 limited access off-ramps that are considered higher-risk locations for wrong way drivers throughout southwestern Connecticut. A list of the locations can be found below.
This project will install new equipment to the latest standards including pedestals, thermal and CCTV cameras, solar panels, cellular modems, internally illuminated signs, and signs with flashers. This equipment will be deployed along off-ramps as the primary detection for wrong-way vehicles. The detection will then activate flashing red LED lights located on wrong-way signs alerting drivers that they are traveling in the wrong direction and need to take corrective action. Simultaneously, a notification by cellular modem will be sent to Connecticut State Police and CTDOT’s Newington Headquarters to make them aware of a potential wrong way driver.
For more information on CTDOT’s commitment to stopping wrong way drivers, visit https://portal.ct.gov/wrongwaydriving
The present schedule indicates that the design will be completed in May 2025, with construction anticipated to start in fall 2025, assuming acceptance of the project, availability of funding and receipt of any required right-of-way and environmental permits. This project will be undertaken with 100% state funds.
It is CTDOT's policy to keep the public informed and involved when such projects are undertaken and important that the community share its concerns with CTDOT to assist in the project's development.
If anyone has any questions or comments on this project, contact Jonathan Corilla, Project Manager, at (860) 594-2755 or by e-mail at Jonathan.Corilla@ct.gov. Please make reference to State Project No. 0173-0545.
