Wrong-Way Technology Coming to Route 8 at Exit 27

The state is delivering on its promise to make our roads safer by installing wrong way driving technology on Route 8 north and south at Exit 27 located in the south end of Waterbury. The Connecticut Department of Transportation will begin that vitally important work on Tuesday, March 11. The state has determined these off-ramps are at a higher risk for wrong way drivers. Both the north and southbound ramps to Route 8 south at Exit 27 will be closed from Tuesday at 7 p.m. through 5 a.m. the following morning. The timeline could change due to the weather or other unforeseen conditions. Drivers should maintain a safe speed when driving in the area. Click here for more information including detours
