Border War Over I 95 Heads To Federal Court
Westchester County officials say Connecticut may not honor promises over the I 95 border dispute. A planned U S District Court suit in Manhattan aims to stop Connecticut state troopers from diverting trucks at Greenwich toll plaza to Port Chester. A late compromise promises a firm timetable to finish Exit 4 ramps by Tuesday, avoiding a lawsuit. The bridge collapse has forced 90,000 vehicles onto detours, hurting local business and roads. The county board of legislators unanimously approved the suit but Abrams favored a negotiated resolution.
