Enfield Drivers Should Expect I-91 Detours Soon

ENFIELD, CT — Drivers in Enfield should expect nighttime ramp closures along Interstate 91 starting next week as part of a state pavement preservation project.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation said temporary closures of I-91 northbound and southbound on- and off-ramps between exits 45 and 49 are scheduled to begin Monday, April 20. The overnight work is expected to continue through May 29.

According to CTDOT, the closures are planned Monday through Friday from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Officials said only one ramp will be closed at a time.

The work is tied to pavement preservation in Enfield and East Windsor. CTDOT said the project includes fine milling, pavement repairs, joint and crack filling, and new pavement markings.

Electronic message boards and detour signs will direct drivers through the work zone. State and local police, along with flaggers, are also expected to help guide traffic.

CTDOT said the broader project, listed as Project No. 0046-0131, was awarded to Tilcon Connecticut Inc. for about $30.7 million in March 2025. The overall project is scheduled for completion in April 2027.
