Traffic Banned from All Roads

It's going to take time to clean the roads, so all but emergency vehicles are banned for the time being.

 

Gov. Dannel Malloy has ordered all roads in Connecticut closed until further notice.

This traffic ban extends to all vehicles except for those emergency response and recovery vehicles with the capacity to maneuver in heavy snow.

"It's critical right now that residents stay off the roads, so that our plows can continue their efforts to clear our streets and highways," said Governor Malloy.  "This is a record setting storm.  It's going to take time to dig out of the snow. Stalled or abandoned vehicles will only slow that process.  Unless you face an emergency, please stay put." 

Notice of the travel ban was sent over the state's Emergency Broadcast System.
