Close to 100,000 people travel the Merritt Parkway every day. Few realize the complexity of design and ingenuity that went into creating the Merritt or the complexity of stewarding this scenic byway.
The Merritt Parkway, completed in 1940, is a 37.5 mile scenic byway from Greenwich to Stratford with a bucolic landscape designed by Weld Thayer Chase and 69 iconic bridges designed by the architect George Dunkelberger in a range of styles, most notably Art Deco and Art Moderne.
We advocate for the Merritt Parkway to achieve a balance between its functionality as a major thoroughfare and the preservation of this unique and treasured historic asset.
The Merritt Parkway Conservancy is a member-supported 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working in partnership with the CT Department of Transportation to protect, revitalize, and steward this National Register-listed historic district and National Scenic Byway.
