Wrong Way Detection Activations for the Week of September 15, 2025

The Connecticut Department of Transportation CTDOT is announcing multiple wrong way detection activations will take place across Connecticut starting on Monday-Thursday, September 15-18, 2025. These projects are scheduled to occur starting on Monday, September 15, and be completed by Thursday, September 18, 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.
