Prepare for a Messy Evening Connecticut Commute

It’s best to heed the advice of State Police on the way home from work Tuesday as the snow storm continues to pose dangerous conditions.

State troopers responded to about 114 accidents between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Police advise motorists to assess the need for travel and to take it slow on the roads as snow continues to pile up leading to the evening commute. Meteorologists predict that heavy snow will let up around 5 or 6:30 p.m. in most of the state.

Some areas of the state could see snowfall until 9 p.m.

A crash that involved many vehicles closed I-91 northbound in North Haven for hours Tuesday afternoon. A single vehicle later went over the wire rope guide rails in another part of the highway and closed a lane.

I-95 southbound in Madison was also temporarily closed around noon due to a three-vehicle accident. I-95 southbound in Orange had a less major accident that closed a lane and caused a backup during the afternoon.

Smaller state roads weren’t spared either. New Britain Avenue in West Hartford will be closed throughout rush hour and likely into the later evening hours after a vehicle severed a utility pole.
