Connecticut’s roads are particularly congested during rush hour. During rush hour, I-95, I-84, and I-91 are among the busiest routes. In the morning, rush hour begins between 6:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., while in the evening, rush hour begins between 4:00 p.m. and 7 p.m. For a hassle-free trip, avoid driving on the roads mentioned above and through downtown Connecticut during these hours.
