Wilton Police Warn of Traffic Delays for Motorcycle Ride

WILTON, CT — Police in Wilton and neighboring towns are advising motorists to plan for delays on Sunday, Sept. 8, as the CT United Ride makes its way through Wilton and 10 other towns.

The 60-mile motorcade starts at Norden Park in Norwalk at approximately 11:30 a.m. and travels through Westport, Wilton, Redding, Bethel, Newtown, Monroe, Trumbull, and Fairfield; ending at Seaside Park in Bridgeport.

The procession should reach Wilton at approximately 11:45 a.m. and will obstruct roadways along its route for potentially as long as 30-45 minutes. The route is closed and continuous, meaning that with the assistance of a police escort the participating motorcyclists drive through traffic lights. The procession will travel north on Westport Road (Route 33) from Westport and continue north on to Danbury Road (Route 7) to School Street (Route 107) into the Town of Redding.
Route 7 and Route 33 (Westport Road) northbound will be closed during the procession. Motorists should anticipate extended traffic delays along the procession’s route. Wilton police and CERT will assist in the procession escort and road closures.

The CT United Ride, the largest 9/11 tribute in the State of Connecticut, is a motorcycle ride honoring the victims and first responders of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
