• CT DOT's Automated Work Zone Speed Control Deployed At Glastonbury Project (patch.com) — Drivers in Glastonbury should be aware that state transportation officials are deploying automated work zone speed control cameras along Route 2 eastbound between Exits 4B and 6 as part of a bridge rehabilitation project. For now, the system is being used only for calibration and data collection, but it is part of a broader statewide effort to curb speeding and improve safety in highway work zones.
