Site work and paving for a road / highway in Norwalk, Connecticut. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

The project is located in Norwalk at the interchange of Routes 7/15 (Interchange 39) and includes the interchange of Route 15 (Merritt Parkway) with Main Avenue (Interchange 40); and Glover Avenue/Creeping Hemlock Drive in the vicinity of Main Avenue. This project will address the missing connections on the existing Route 15/7 Interchange and would consequently improve the mobility for motorists at the following connections: (1) southbound Route 15 to northbound Route 7, (2) southbound Route 15 to southbound Route, (3) northbound Route 7 to northbound Route 15, and (4) southbound Route 7 to northbound Route 15. Additionally, the project will address the substandard acceleration lanes, steep changes in grade, sharp curves, and limited sight distance on the existing Main Avenue and Route 15 interchange ramps. These factors contribute to a high number of crashes on the Merritt Parkway. On local networks, Main Avenue, Glover Avenue, and Creeping Hemlock Drive will be upgraded to expand mobility for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and motorists. The upgrade will include installing bicycle facilities and adequate shoulder widths, where there are none today. Sidewalks, curb ramps, and crosswalks will be installed in compliance with the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
