The Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles says it is temporarily closing its driver's license renewal centers statewide.

Officials say employees are being transferred to full-time offices where wait times of up to five hours have been reported. The long wait times came after a brief closure to upgrade the DMV's computer system.

The DMV says its Stamford and Milford locations will reopen with their regular schedules once the full-time offices catch up with the workload.
