Troopers will also conduct two DUI/sobriety checkpoint operations over the weekend, both in New Haven County.

On Sunday, Sept. 4, state police will conduct a checkpoint in Meriden on the northbound exit from I-91 and Route 15 to East Main Street from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. the following morning.

Another DUI checkpoint will be conducted Monday, Sept. 5, in New Haven on the I-91 on and off ramps at Orange Street from 8:30 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. the next day, police said.
