Stonington Travelers: Expect Delays on I-95 Northbound this Week

WATERFORD, CT – The Connecticut DOT will be conducting an Interstate 95 north bound lane closure as part of a bridge replacement project at the Waterford/East Lyme Town line.

The high speed lane will be closed beginning on Aug. 22 at 8 p.m. and continue until 6 a.m. on Aug. 24. This is a 34 hour period during which time there will be significant traffic delays on I-95 north, according to a release.

Secondary roads will be affected by the highway closure including Route 1 at Oil Mill Road and Route 85 at I-395, as traffic is expected to seek alternate routes. Motorists should expect long delays at these intersections and are urged to avoid these areas during the construction period.

The suggested alternate route for I-95 northbound traffic during the lane closure is I-395 north, to Route 85 south (Exit 2), to I-95 north (Entrance 82).
