Merritt Parkway Guardrail: A Historic Guardrail Design Built for Modern Highway Safety

Our Merritt Parkway Rail features consists of steel posts and large, steel-backed wood rails. Merritt Parkway Guardrail was originally designed for the Merritt Parkway in Connecticut to provide for the safety of modern highways and add beauty to the landscape. All components are designed to meet FHWA standards.

The Merritt Parkway was the first “Parkway” in the United States. When a new highway was proposed in the 1920s to ease congestion, congressman Merritt recommended construction of a “beautiful parkway” which “should be constructed so as to add beauty to the landscape, and therefore attract desirable residents.”
