I never lived there, but do know the area quite well, and like you, I know the roads there. 9 can become quite congested quite quickly, would make it difficult to get surrounding towns emergency vehicles to a from the site. The whole area is town on top of town, only way to tell you have left one town and entered another, is road signs. It’s like a maze of towns all, extensions of Hartford.

I imagine route 66 that goes across the Connecticut River is a massive traffic jam.

The nearest traffic camera that I've found on I-91 is somewhat north of Middletown (in Cromwell, probably five miles or so) at http://www.ct.gov/dot/cwp/view.asp?a=2354&q=414154 - it does not show any traffic tie-up in either direction (but the camera only updates infrequently)...
