Buckle up and get ready to watch as approximately 1,500 motorcycles will roar through Wilton this Sunday, Sept. 7, for the 24th Annual CT United Ride. The event supports 9/11 first responders and their families, with a special tribute to CT’s heroes lost in the line of duty.
Wilton is one of 11 cities and towns on the route the motorcyclists will ride, from Norwalk to Bridgeport.
They will enter Wilton on Westport. Rd (Rte. 33) at the Westport town line and will continue toward Danbury Rd. (Rte. 7). Once the riders reach Danbury Rd. (Rt. 7), all northbound traffic will be closed as the motorcade, led by the CT State Police, makes its way to Georgetown. Wilton Police expect the closure to last approximately 45 minutes. (11:45 a.m.-12:30 p.m.).
Wilton Police and Wilton CERT members will be stationed at intersections along the route to assist with road closures. Residents are asked to pay attention to personnel deployed at the intersections and follow their instructions to help manage traffic flow and ensure the safety of all motorists and pedestrians.
Wilton Police request that anyone who must travel during this time to make alternate arrangements and avoid Danbury Rd. (Rte. 7) between Westport Rd. (Rt. 33) to Rte. 107 (Georgetown).
All are welcome to come out to watch and support.
