HARTFORD — An exit from I-91 north to Rt. 15 South will close Wednesday night for two years in order to realign the merge at the Charter Oak Bridge.

- Follow I-91 northbound to Exit 29 (to Routes 5/15 and cross over the Charter Oak Bridge)
- Take Exit 90 to Route 2 westbound
- Take first Exit to East River Drive
- Turn right on East River Drive
