Protest activity briefly leads to lane closures on Route 15
Protest activity Sunday evening briefly led to road closures on Route 15.
Northbound lanes were closed on Route 15 by Exit 15 in New Haven.
Southbound lanes were also closed by Exit 61 in Hamden.
Drivers were urged to seek an alternate route, but those lanes have since reopened.
 
It comes after protest activity also shut down roadways in the Norwalk area on Saturday. Demonstrations have been held for the past several days across Connecticut and the country over the death of George Floyd during an encounter with police in Minneapolis.
