Some of the unique bridges built in the 1930's for the Merritt Parkway. The designer was under an edict not to duplicate any bridge design.


Original Merritt Turnpike signage from as long ago as 1937 lies in a pile in 1969, ready to be crumbled into junk. Thanks to Michael Summa for recovering this rare specimen. The flat-painted wood had reflective lettering applied, but I've never seen a night photo to see how well that performed.
