Welcome

The 7/15 Norwalk Project is an initiative to provide the missing connections between Route 7 and Route 15 (Merritt Parkway). The Project aims to improve mobility and safety at the Main Avenue and Route 7 interchanges on the Merritt Parkway. The 7/15 Norwalk Project Team has received a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and a signed Section 4(f) Evaluation. The project will now proceed to Preliminary and Final Design.

The 7/15 Norwalk Project Team is to develop the final drafts of the environmental assessment and 4(f) evaluation document. Over the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted FHWA and DOT's consultation efforts for Section 106 review. Not all of the Section 106 stakeholders and State and Tribal Historic Preservation Officers have been available to consult during the pandemic. We continue to work with FHWA on current protocols and guidance with regards to coordination and hope to complete coordination with all of our stakeholders in the coming months. We will then incorporate the finished Section 106 process into the environmental document.
