Wrong Way Detection Activations in South Windsor for August
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing a wrong way detection activations will take place in South Windsor starting the week of August 18, 2025. This project is scheduled to occur on Monday, August 18 and be completed on Thursday, August 21, 2025.
The location of this work is:
- I-291 Eastbound at Exit 2 in South Windsor
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.
