Repaving Work Scheduled On Merritt In Greenwich: What To Expect

GREENWICH, CT — The Connecticut Department of Transportation has announced a lengthy Merritt Parkway repaving project that will take place between Exit 27 and Exit 33 in Greenwich.

According to CT-DOT, the project is set to begin on Tuesday, April 1, and is expected to be completed in December. Work is scheduled to take place from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Friday.

"The Route 15 section mainline is scoped to include milling and then paving to maintain existing roadway elevations. The roadway will have an overlay that will extend the lifespan of the wearing surface," CT-DOT said in a recent announcement. "Specific curves along the mainline roadway will have a High Friction Surface Treatment to help reduce accidents in those areas. Ramps are included in the work and will require temporary detours during the work."

Drivers can expect lane closures between Exits 27 and 33 in Greenwich beginning on April 1, CT-DOT said. A detour for the ramp closures will be posted, and traffic control personnel and signing patterns will guide drivers through the work zone.

"Motorists should be aware that modifications or extensions to this schedule may become necessary due to weather delays or other unforeseen conditions," CT-DOT said. "Motorists are advised to maintain a safe speed when driving in this area."
