Travel ban in effect

WTNH-- Governor Malloy has announced a travel ban beginning at 4 PM.

The ban applies to motor vehicle travel on limited access highways, with the exception of emergency response and recovery vehicles, including public safety and utility vehicles, and vehicles carrying essential personnel or supplies.

"As the weather gets worse over the next few hours, we need to keep the roads clear, so that emergency-related personnel and utility crews can reach those that may need our help. By traveling in these conditions, you are not only putting yourself in danger, but you are potentially risking the lives of first responders, utility workers and other residents. Please be safe," said Governor Malloy.

The travel ban will remain in effect until further notice.
