Saturday Southbound: Weekend Traffic Returns as I-95 Crawls
After more than a year of less than average traffic on the parkways and highways that cross the community, the “Saturday southbound crawl” has returned to I 95.
Last weekend, and again today, the southbound traffic could be seen backed up for several miles through Westport as an increase in drivers compete with several construction projects sprawled out from Norwalk to the New York border.
Greens Farms Road, Post Road East, as well as the Saugatuck neighborhood feel the brunt of these stresses as drivers fight for open road.
Wherever you’re going - give time and have patience.

A pug and their person beats the traffic today on Compo Road South as they longboarded and jogged alongside it.
Two More Car Accidents -One Roll Over - Continue Busy Streak for Responders Overnight
A car accident with injuries, between I-95 exits 19 and 18 in the southbound lanes, was reported just after 1:30 this morning.
Minutes later a second motor vehicle was reported as rolled-over, also on I-95, just miles up the highway in the northbound lanes at exit 17. Upon arrival of first responders, the occupants of the vehicle were not found - prompting police activity in the area to begin searching for the driver, who possibly ran from the accident scene. Police could be seen in the Saugatuck neighborhoods near Exit 17 just after 2:00 AM.
No word on injuries, causes of the accidents, or the whereabouts of the fleeing driver.
