Motorists traveling eastbound on Route 40 are encountering traffic delays due to ongoing construction work that has forced the closure of the right lane.
The affected stretch runs between Wilton Boulevard and the DuPont Parkway (Route 13), where crews are conducting roadwork that requires the lane to remain closed.
State transportation officials indicate the right lane restriction will stay in place until 3 PM today, after which normal traffic flow is expected to resume.
Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and exercise caution when passing through the construction zone.
