Starting 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. on March 23 the on-ramp from southbound Newtown Road to I-264 west will be closed. Similarly, the detour will use the roundabout at Greenwich Road to re-access I-264 west via the northbound Newtown Road on-ramp.

The presented schedule is subject to change. Paving work is weather dependent and both on-ramps will not be closed all at the same time.
