With sounds of traffic whizzing by on the Merritt Parkway, the district’s chairman of the General Assembly Transportation Committee, state Sen. Will Haskell, highlighted $175 million on infrastructure spending that would soon improve the area. According to two easels with charts outlining where the money goes, $61 million would be for resurfacing the parkway; $98 million to target safety improvements to I-95; $14.8 million for the reconstruction of East Avenue Bridge in Norwalk; and more than $1.5 million for local town roads in Norwalk, Darien and New Canaan. The project will widen the parkway in some areas and provide emergency breakdown lanes and narrower medians between Westport and New Canaan.
