Westport PD Reminds Drivers of I-95 partial closures which will create heavy traffic and delays in town.

The I-95 Bridge Lateral Slide at Exit 17 in Westport this weekend and and on the November 3rd seeking will severely restrict traffic flow on I-95 in both directions over both weekends. 

The schedule of work is as follows:

Friday October 20, at 8PM until Monday October 23, at 6AM

- I-95 NB will be closed, and the traffic will be detoured on the I-95 SB bridge thus severely restricting traffic flow.

- Saugatuck Avenue detour will be in place.

Friday November 3, at 8PM until November 6, at 6 AM

- I-95 SB will be closed, and the traffic will be detoured on the I-95 SB bridge thus severely restricting traffic flow.

- Saugatuck Avenue detour will be in place

This work will severely affect traffic flow for I-95, and we want to reduce backups and overflow into the Town of Westport and adjacent areas by having people avoid this area and find alternate routes. Please help us share this message and this project will go smoothly with minimal local and regional impact.
