The state department of transportation has announced that road work between exit 17 and 15 and heavy congestion is causing major delays for any travelers heading northbound today on I-95. The road work had closed one lane until noon today - but the damage appears to have already been done.

With bumper-to-bumper conditions seen from Fairfield to Port Chester, extra time and patience will be required for yet another slow Saturday on the interstate.

With many drivers attempting to avoid the highway altogether, Westport streets are beginning to feel the brunt of the transient guests as Post Road and other thoroughfares become busier.
