Sources say that on Monday, the Merritt Parkway North Avenue bridge will open again to 2-way traffic. It’s been closed completely for the past 2 months.
The bridge reopens a mere 14 months after Connecticut Department of Transportation work began. It’s just 12 months behind schedule.
A few cosmetic details remain. But the project is essentially completed.
Just in time for the new closure, a few hundred yards away on North Compo.
These lights — unused for the past couple of months, because North Avenue was closed at the Merritt Parkway — will soon be removed.
It’s nice to know that DOT will get this one open before they close North Compo. Having both down at the same time would be a nightmare.
Yippee!!!!!
Dan. What source told you the bridge was ready for use? Do tell.
It’s open now. I was right!
Yeah!!
