PROJECT HISTORY

In May 2024 CTDOT advertised a sign replacement project along the CT 15/Wilbur Cross Parkway. The new signs would have milepost based exit numbers. As part of the project, exits would also be renumbered on the Merritt Parkway. Work started on renumbering the exits on the Merritt on July 28, 2025. By the middle of August, exit numbers had been changed for all northbound exits, and contractors had changed all the southbound exits on the Cross Parkway except in Meriden, and started on the Merritt. Work was mostly completed on the entire route by the beginning of October 2025.

PROJECT SIGN PLANS

The plans for exit renumbering of the Merritt Parkway, only included the general set up for the new exit numbers and the old exit number signs.  For the Merritt, the old exit numbers are listed on green signs matching the style of the exit signs, as shown in these plans for ground mounted and overhead signage:

For the Wilbur Cross, the Old Exit signs will be yellow, matching those put up on other routes in the state (signs are from I-384):

The plans also included a Feb. 23 revised list of new exit numbers. Checking this against the original list from last fall though, it doesn't appear any of the exit numbers were changed:

Here are examples of the sign plans for the Wilbur Cross Parkway segment of CT 15, heading north. New exit numbers run from 37 for the To I-95/US 1 Milford Parkway to Exit 62 for the CTDOT Maintenance facility in Meriden (apparently the signs at the end of the parkway for the I-91/CT 15 exits (64 A/B), currently under construction are not being replaced, but receiving only new exit number overlays):
