Dear Neighbor,

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) announced that wrong-way detection testing and recertification will take place in Manchester. This project is scheduled to occur on Wednesday, September 10, and be completed on Thursday, September 11, 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 that 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.

  • I-84 Eastbound at Exit 63
