NORWALK — Interstate 95 has been fully reopened following Thursday's three-vehicle crash turned fire, state officials said.

On Sunday morning, Gov. Ned Lamont announced that both lanes would be reopened for traffic by 10 a.m. Sunday after officials spent several days removing Norwalk's Fairfield Avenue bridge, which was seriously damaged from the blaze.

"It is truly amazing that in less than 80 hours from that fiery crash Thursday that shut down traffic in both directions, the highway again is fully open," Lamont said.

The state's Department of Transportation said crews spent the weekend demolishing the bridge so that traffic could reopen. On Saturday night, officials reopened the northbound lanes, then, several hours later, the southbound side welcomed traffic back, too.

DOT Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto said the reopening of I-95 in less than four days since the fiery crash was a "team effort," but added that the work is not over.

"While the roadway is open, the work continues as we are planning how and when the Fairfield Avenue Bridge will be replaced," Eucalitto said.

Though the bridge will likely take a year or so to rebuild, state officials said they are hopeful that replacement plans for the bridge will be complete within the next two weeks.

Norwalk police said that they would be deploying drones in order to monitor traffic volumes while detours are still in effect around the city.

"We have uniformed officers directing traffic throughout various intersections of Norwalk and have been adjusting their locations as volume dictates," Norwalk police Lt. Tom Podgorski said.

State Sen. Bob Duff, who represents Norwalk and Darien, said a lot of hard work went into reopening the closed section of I-95 by Sunday morning.

"It's really amazing progress in about 80 hours that we went from completely closing an artery that is completely important and relied on by hundreds of thousands of people each day to being back open again," Duff said on Sunday morning.

He went on to say he visited the site at around noon on Saturday and was "amazed" at how quickly the progress to reopening was being made.

Duff added that watching the live camera the DOT put up near the site was like "watching the 'The Truman Show.'"

"I'd love to see the ratings of that webcam because I know people were watching it. I was watching it like crazy," Duff said. "It was great that people could share in the progress that was being made."

Officials from Frontier Communications said they were working to fix damaged telecommunications lines from the crash, which has disrupted some service in the area.

Frontier officials said in an email on Saturday that they expect to have service restored for the majority of the affected customers by the end of the weekend and hope to complete the restoration by the end of the week.
