This project will upgrade the Parkway from the Greenwich / Stamford town line, easterly approximately 6 ½ miles, to just beyond the South Street overpass in New Canaan. The existing guide rail will be replaced with Merritt Parkway Guide Rail (a steel backed timber railing). The existing rock ledges close to the roadway will be evaluated, and if warranted, will be cut back or shielded with either the Merritt Parkway guide rail or concrete barrier. A single unit concrete curb and gutter system will also be installed along the grass median. Numerous bridges, located within the project limits, will require minor cosmetic work (various parapet work, graffiti removal, surface and crack repairs to concrete, fencing, overlay, etc).
VN Engineers is providing construction engineering and inspection as well as construction support services for this project. Estimated Cost of Project: $57,000,000
