Southbound Traffic on Merritt Parkway Heavy through State Line; I-95 Clear South of Exit 17

The Connecticut DoT released that the Merritt Parkway is heavily congested from Fairfield’s Exit 44 all the way through Greenwich’s Exit 31, a 17 mile back-up. An earlier truck accident in Greenwich on I-95 southbound lead to some of the hopeful diversions away from the slowdown. An accident was reported just at 8:30 this morning on I-95 in Westport, slowing down cars just past Exit 18.
