Connecticut/Closures View history

Use this page to keep track of LONG TERM road closures and changes to traffic flow in the State of Connecticut. Please note start and (anticipated) end dates as well as a link to more information about the project (if available). Be sure to read Road closures before making changes to the map and this page.

Waze is now consistently updating NA map tiles on a nightly basis. Map changes for road closures should be completed by 2200 UTC in order to be included in the nightly updates. At this time please only map closures that are in effect for more than two weeks. And be sure to go back and update the closures as soon as work is completed.
