Bridgeport, Connecticut - Connecticut Department of Transportation
officials have announced that motorists are to be advised that a
traffic switch onto the newly constructed roadway is scheduled to
take place on I-95 northbound, between Exit 25 (Commerce Drive)
and Exit 27 (Lafayette Blvd.) on Thursday, September 9, 2004.
In conjunction with this switch, the northbound Exit 26
off-ramp to Wordin Avenue will be closed, and will remain closed
until December 2004. This closure is necessary to permit the reconstruction
of a portion of I-95 northbound over Howard Avenue, which was damaged
by fire from an incident on the highway on March 25, 2004. Traffic
will be detoured via Exit 27. Signs, including variable message
signs, and traffic personnel will be utilized to direct motorists
through the detour. Variable message signs will also be utilized
to inform motorists of the traffic switch.
All work will take place, weather permitting. In case of inclement
weather, the work will be performed on Monday, September 13, 2004.
Motorists are urged to proceed with caution and obey the posted
45-mph speed limit, established in 1997, for the Bridgeport Corridor
construction zone, which spans from Exit 24 to Exit 30 northbound
and southbound on I-95.
