The major traffic artery linking New England with New York will be closed in Connecticut for days after a tanker fire damaged a bridge over Interstate 95, Gov. Ned Lamont said Thursday.
I know what an incredible inconvenience this is for people and all I can ask you to do is stay away from that area as best you can," Lamont said during a briefing in Hartford. "The traffic jams are horrendous." Thursday's accident occurred under the Fairfield Avenue bridge. The overpass has been damaged but did not appear in danger of collapsing, said Scott Hill, chief engineer for the Connecticut Department of Transportation.
