Traffic shift on I-95 in New Haven

(WTNH) -- Traffic is going to be delayed on I-95 in New Haven this weekend, as the Connecticut Department of Transportation closes lanes and shifts traffic as part of the I-95 reconstruction project.
Beginning tonight, the DOT is moving traffic to create a new work zone for the big construction project. The split on I-95 Northbound to I-91 northbound will be moved back from it's current location to the Long Wharf/Sargent Drive area.

"It's going to be a series of lane alterations that are going to occur," said Brian Mercure, ConnDOT. "One lane of traffic will be open to traffic on I-95 and I-91 at all times."
However, that's one lane each instead of the usual two lanes to I-91 North and two lanes to the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge.
Also this weekend, lots of people are driving to New Haven for events connected to Yale's Graduation on Monday, and they're driving up to Hamden for Quinnipiac's graduation on Sunday, and they're driving up to the Oakdale in Wallingford for the University of New Haven's graduation, also Sunday. So many are asking why do the road work this weekend?
"What weekend's really good in a vibrant city like New Haven," questioned Mercure. "If it's not Memorial Day weekend, it's Yale's reunion coming in."
The DOT has warned all the schools about the traffic concerns, and they warned all the seniors and parents. The whole reason for the change is now the DOT has to get to work on the area cars currently drive on, including expanding the bridge by Ikea. This is not about moving traffic to the new Q Bridge. That's still a few months away.
"We've got all summer to get all of the traffic onto the new Q Bridge," Mercure said.

A mother was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her teenage son. Suddenly the boy bursts into the kitchen. "Careful! Careful! Put in some more butter! Oh my goodness! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful!... CAREFUL! I said CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!" The mother stared at him. "What's wrong with you? You think I don't now how to fry a couple of eggs?" The son calmly replied, "I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm trying to play soccer."
Silent Sidelines Reminder Each Fall and Spring playing season the Board of Directors shall sponsor a statewide Silent Sidelines weekend. Coaches will be permitted to give players direction from the sidelines. Spectators will be directed to refrain from making any comments to players, coaches or referees, but will be permitted to applaud efforts by players.” Referees are not responsible for the enforcement of this rule. It is the clubs responsibility to inform your spectators of the guidelines for Silent Sidelines. The Spring Silent Sidelines weekend will be the third weekend of May and the Fall Silent Sidelines will be the third weekend of October. The goals of Silent Sidelines Weekend are to:
1. develop our players to make decisions on the field without sideline intervention.
2. improve the players’ communication on the field by reducing the outside noise level.
3. support our youth referees by eliminating dissension from the sidelines. This rule was drafted and passed at the request of a CJSA player. We need to help our players develop without the continued interference from the sidelines. The objective is to promote greater awareness of this development by coaches and parents as well as the players and referees. We are requesting that all spectators remain silent on these weekends. For the sake of our kids, we are asking for one weekend where we stand back and just let the players play. We would like to provide each player at least one game of their season that is free of the distractions caused by spectators screaming and yelling at them. This program was first sponsored by CJSA in September 2000 and was successful. Many players stated they enjoyed the opportunity to communicate with their teammates and be heard. One player, Tommy Schanzer, enjoyed the experience so much that he spearheaded a movement to bring back Silent Sidelines each season. The guidelines are simple. Spectators are to be quiet, talking in a normal tone to the person next to them. What is to be avoided are comments that can be heard by players, referees or opponents. Applause is permitted and encouraged. The program works. It has increased the awareness by both coaches and parents of the players’ development. In addition, it has increased referee retention. Your help is needed. We are asking everyone in CJSA to promote and support Silent Sidelines Weekend and give the game back to the kids MUSC Competes in the CUP
