37°
Temporary concrete barriers will be installed along the right shoulder of two stretches of the Merritt in both directions in Stamford and New Canaan starting Monday evening, the DOT announced. The work will begin in the southbound direction just north of the Exit 37 off ramp in New Canaan.
The barriers will be set up along the right shoulders and be limited to two 1.5-mile work areas in each direction with a 1.5-mile buffer between the two locations, the DOT said. The project will extend from the Greenwich and Stamford border just north of Exit 31 for North Street to the vicinity of Exit 37 for Route 124/South Avenue in New Canaan.
The work areas will allow for pavement reconstruction and drainage installations as part of the resurfacing and safety improvement project along the Merritt. Once the two southbound work areas are established, the contractor will install the two 1.5-mile work areas in the northbound direction beginning at the Greenwich town line.
