Travel Ban Lifted in Connecticut

Governor asks residents to use caution on state highways as well as local roads.

The closure of the state's limited access highways to all non-emergency vehicles has been lifted, effective immediately.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Tuesday at 8 a.m. that Connecticut's highways were open but asked people to use caution on both state and local roads.

“Use your heads when it comes to driving.  If a road appears impassable because of water, downed wires, fallen trees or other debris, do not attempt to drive through it,” Malloy said.
