During the heavy rain early Friday morning, a driver attempted to enter I-91 in the wrong direction. The #CTDOT wrong way detection system activated with flashing lights, alerting the driver of their error. The motorist then stopped and turned around. This technology saves lives!

📢 All lanes on I-95 over Saugatuck Avenue near Exit 17 in #Westport are open! A successful "bridge slide" on I-95 northbound was completed over the weekend & the project was completed 14 hours ahead of schedule. Great job to the crews who worked tirelessly over the weekend!

The roads went on a #RoadDiet the day after Thanksgiving! Here is a quick build road diet on Ella Grasso Blvd in @cityofnewhaven installed by the #CTDOT team. It reduces motor vehicle conflicts, increasing pedestrian & bicyclist safety. #PedestrianSafety

Tomorrow, we will observe #TransitEquityDay to commemorate the life and legacy of Civil Rights leader Rosa Parks on her birthday and her unfinished work to end inequities in transportation. #CT is stronger when everyone has access to reliable and affordable transportation. #CTDOT

We're planning for a solid 2-4" for much of the state, 4-6" in the Northwest hills & 1-2" along CT's shoreline. We're currently out in full force (had an early start on the Merritt Parkway ⬇️ this AM.) Motorists should take it ⚠️slow ⚠️as snow will remain constant thru the day.

The #Stamford Parking Garage has been illuminated with the colors of Maryland's flag following the tragic collapse of the Key Bridge in #Baltimore . Our thoughts are with the first responders, construction crews who were injured and killed, and all of our colleagues at @MDOTNews .

CT Drivers, keep an eye out for our crews mowing along highways and state routes to ensure safe travel and sightlines. Be prepared to slow down & give Highway Maintenance crews plenty of room to work. This #MowingMonday , teams spotted on I-84 in Farmington.
