I-91 North in Hartford reopened after tractor-trailer jackknifes

Connecticut Department of Transportation

A tractor-trailer jackknifed on Interstate 91 North in Hartford and the highway was closed for hours. It has since reopened.

The highway was closed between exits 29 and 29A.

Heavy snow had been falling across much of the state since early Tuesday morning and Gov. Ned Lamont signed an order ahead of the storm that banned all tandem tractor-trailers and empty tractor-trailers from traveling on all limited-access highways across the state.

The ban went into effect at midnight and was lifted as of 1 p.m.
