Use this page to keep track of LONG TERM Road Closures & 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 How to handle road closures before making changes to the map & this page.

Due to the current long cycle between map updates, only make map changes for closures that will last more than 2 months.

On May 17th, 2012 Waze announced weekly map updates that would run each Sunday night (GMT) and would contain updates as of the previous Monday([1]). Please only include map changes that will be in place 24 hours a day for at least one week, and be sure to plan your Construction updates accordingly (i.e. 2 weeks in advance).

Due to Major Infrastructure Upgrades at Waze, there is no longer a consistent map tile update schedule, although we have been told that one is in the works (most likely 2-3 times a week). At this point please only map closures that are in effect for more than two weeks.

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.
