Bridge Repairs on Merritt Pkwy

Drivers can expect delays until Sept. 30.

If you've encountered delays between Exit 36 and Exit 37 on the Merritt Parkway northbound this week that could be due to work on the old Lapham Avenue Bridge.

Contractors with the state Department of Transportation have been repairing a concrete section of the fascia on the bridge's east-facing side.

If you're thinking of throwing the bikes on the car and heading to Vermont—or anywhere else for that matter—watch for the reduced vertical clearance at the overpass.
