Westbrook, CT – Drivers traveling along I-95 in Connecticut are facing significant delays Friday after two separate motor vehicle accidents forced extended closures near Exits 64 and 65.
According to Connecticut State Police-Troop F Westbrook, troopers responded to both crashes earlier today, and closures remain in place as crews continue cleanup and investigation. The agency urged motorists to allow extra travel time and monitor updates from the Department of Transportation.
The Clinton Police Department reported that I-95 is closed in both directions at Exit 64 following a tractor-trailer accident. Traffic is being diverted off the interstate through Clinton, causing heavy congestion on Route 1 and surrounding roads. Officials advised drivers to avoid the area if possible until the interstate can be reopened.
Police did not immediately confirm whether anyone was injured in the incidents. No estimated reopening time has been announced.
Transportation officials recommend that motorists use alternate routes and check ctroads.org for real-time updates before heading out.
