Greenwich Drivers: Road Work on Merritt Closes Left Lane Till 3 PM Tuesday

Road work on the Merritt Parkway has closed the left lane on the southbound-traffic side between Exits 34 and 31 in Greenwich. The lane is expected to be closed until 3 p.m.

Lanes also will be closed for roadwork Tuesday at several other stretches of highway that Greenwich drivers may be traveling on, but the good news is that all the lanes are expected to be reopened by 3 p.m. the Connecticut Department of Transportation announced.

The announcements came from late morning to early afternoon on a department Web page.

Also, the left lane of Interstate 95 for northbound traffic (toward Norwalk) is closed for unspecified road work until 3 p.m. Tuesday, the Connecticut Department of Transportation just announced.

The left lane on a stretch of highway between Exits 12 and 13 will be closed until 3 p.m., the announcement said. The announcement, however, posted at 12:32 p.m., also said the road work was expected to take two hours or less, so the lane may be open well before 3 p.m.

On that same mile-long stretch of highway, a low point on the roadway near the Darien North rest stop exit had a bit of flooding during Monday’s rain showers (on the southbound-traffic side, too), but the lane closure may have nothing to do with that.

Some other lane closures resulting from road work on area highways, from the same Department of Transportation Web page:

• In Norwalk, road work on Route 7 northbound-side of Route 7 between I-95 and Exit 1 is expected to close the right lane until 3 p.m.
• In Fairfield, road work on the Merritt Parkway is closing the right lane on the southbound-traffic side for at least part of the 1.4-mile stretch of highway between Exits 46 and 44 until 3:00 pm.
