CT State Police Have DUI Checkpoints + Roving Patrols All Around Local Area
If you think that traffic is rough on a holiday, it looks like this 4th of July traffic might be even more epic than usual.
Because July 4th falls on a Wednesday this year, mid-week getaways will be on the rise from today all the way through Sunday. If you're planning on celebrating with alcohol, do yourself and everyone else a huge favor, DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE! If you do, Connecticut State Police will be looking for you.
