The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) announced that a wrong way detection installation will take place on I91 northbound at Exit 42 in Windsor Locks beginning on Monday, April 14, 2025, and to be completed on Tuesday April 15, 2025.
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.
