This past Tuesday and Wednesday I was in New England for business. Along the way we drove along the Merritt Parkway. It is one of the only roads listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There is even a Merritt Parkway Conservancy.
The Merritt Parkway runs through Fairfield County Connecticut. It was one of the first limited access highways and was finished in 1940. No trucks are allowed on it's 38 mile length. But as you can see each bridge built over the parkway is unique. If a highway can be called "civilized" this one is it.
