| Summer Weekends: No Lane Closures on I-95 Between Exit 51 and Exit 54
The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing that during summer weekends, no ramp or lane closures are planned on I-95 Northbound and I-95 Southbound between Exit 51 and Exit 54 from 12:01PM on Fridays through 12:01AM on Mondays. The summer schedule started on Memorial Day (Friday, May 23, 2003) and is in effect through Labor Day (Monday, September 1, 2003). The number of lanes available on I-95 during these hours will not be reduced. Maintenance of existing traffic operations also continues for weekday morning and evening commute times. Construction in this area is part of Contract D of the I-95 New Haven Harbor Crossing Corridor Improvement Program. Contract D includes the expansion of I-95 between Lake Saltonstall in East Haven and Exit 54 in Branford and is scheduled for completion in November 2003. Work is also about to begin on Contract C1, which includes the expansion of I-95 between the eastern end of the Lake Saltonstall Bridge and the New Haven/East Haven town line, and is scheduled to be completed in November 2005.
