I-91S at Exit 27 to Receive Wrong-Way Detection System
September 15, 2025The Connecticut Department of Transportation has announced that the installation of wrong-way detection activation will take place on I-91 in Windsor and Hartford. This project is scheduled to occur on September 15 and be completed on September 18.
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 that 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.
