State police said troopers throughout the state will be conducting roving DUI patrols from midnight Friday, Sept. 2, and continuing through Monday night, Sept. 5.
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.
Labor Day weekend typically sees higher volumes of traffic, which police say brings an increase in accidents, serious injuries, and fatalities.
