After Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles offices close for next week and reopen, lines may be longer, the state commissioner of motor vehicles warns. The state DMV will be open Saturday, but after that it closes for a week to upgrade its 50-year-old computer system, state officials have announced. AAA offices will still be able to perform some DMV functions during the closure, and an extension is being given on deadlines for some renewals, state officials have announced. “We ask [for] our customers’ patience — expect long lines when we reopen,” said Motor Vehicles Commissioner Andres Ayala Jr. at a news conference Thursday. When other states have closed for similar computer upgrades, long lines result afterward — for some states this has lasted for weeks, for others it’s lasted for months, he said.
