Twenty-nine new highway traffic surveillance cameras covering state highways in the Meriden area are coming online at a traffic website this week as part of the completion of a $24 million installation program. The new network additions allow motorists to monitor congestion, road conditions, construction and maintenance, lane closures and accidents around the clock, in real time. The cameras will also allow emergency responders to instantly verify the location and severity of accidents and other mishaps reported by 911 callers, Southington Fire Department Capt. Edwin Crandall said. The nearly 30 cameras cost about $150,000 each, Nursick said. On I-91, 15 closed-circuit television cameras were installed between Cromwell and the Meriden I-691 interchange, including a camera on Route 15 near the junction. Another 14 cameras are on I-691 between the I-91/Route 15 interchange and I-84 in Southington. This phase of the project is estimated to cost $10,527,660.
