DOT plans I- 95 work

The drive between Westport and Norwalk on Interstate 95 will be resurfaced, so be prepared for traffic backups during the work.

The project, which is scheduled to begin Monday, consists of resurfacing 1.84 miles of I- 95 northbound and southbound between Exits 15 in Norwalk and Exit 18 in Westport.

The work, to be done between 8 p. m. and 5 a. m., is expected to be finished on Sept. 22, weather permitting.

Drivers should expect lane closures between Exit 15 ( Route 7) and Exit 18 ( Sherwood Island Connector).

According to the state Department of Transportation, between 132,600 and 120,100 vehicles a day travel this section of I- 95.
