Project No.102-0296 

For the week of October 24th and October 31st nightly lane closures will occur Northbound 9 pm to 6 am from Exit 37 to Exit 40A and Southbound 7 pm to 5am from Exit 40A to Exit 37. Closure may occur in the right or left lane.

Marking the start of Stage 2 of construction operations, the Parkway will be milled full width to remove a 2 ¼” layer of old pavement and repaved. Milling and paving will begin in the northbound direction followed by southbound with completion anticipated before the Thanksgiving Holiday. Motorist are advised that while milling and paving operations progress within the right lane, it will be necessary to close an exit or entrance ramp from or to the Parkway while milling and paving is done across the ramps.

Ramps that will be affected include the northbound and southbound off and on at Exit 38 and 40A, the northbound off ramps at Exits 39A, 39B, and the southbound on at Exit 39A and 39B. Only one ramp will be closed at a time. During any ramp closure a signed detour will be in place to guide motorist to the original destination. Message boards will also be in place on the Parkway providing information at least one exit in advance of the closure.

The Project Team will continue full depth roadway reconstruction in the right and left lane of southbound Merritt Parkway where it passes beneath overpasses. Work will occur at Marvin Ridge Road and then White Oak Shade. That work is anticipated to be complete by November 4. Crews will then continue the full depth roadway reconstruction in the right and left lane of northbound Merritt Parkway where it passes beneath the White Oak Shade overpass with completion by November 11.

The Project team will also continue tree clearing operations on the Southbound Parkway from Marvin Ridge Road overpass to the southbound Service Plaza and south avenue overpass.
