Commuters can expect lane and exit ramp closures and traffic shifts on Interstate 95 southbound in New Haven overnight Tuesday and Thursday as crews get ready to dismantle the last piece of the Q-Bridge.
It's all part of the I-95 New Haven Harbor Crossing Corridor Improvement Program to build a new connection from I-95 south to I-91 north.
There will be a single ramp to exits 47 and 48 and the split will likely be marked by an Interstate 91 shield painted on the roadway, according to the Department of Transportation.
