Wrong Way Detection Activation in Cromwell for August

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT is announcing a wrong way detection activation will take place in Cromwell starting the week of August 18, 2025 and be completed on Thursday, August 21, 2025.

The location of this work is the following:

Route 9 Northbound at Exit 27 in Cromwell

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.
