Drove the Wilbur Cross Parkway from I-91 in Meriden down to the Sikorsky Bridge, then the Merritt to Route 8 (SB direction only) and have pics of the new exit numbers on my Route 15 page...

Again, I only got SB shots this time around.  Exits in Meriden have not yet been renumbered, though the new exit gore signs are up and bagged, including the CTDOT maintenance garage exit.

I look forward to Google Cars utilizing the Merritt and Wilbur Cross Parkways after the exits are renumbered to mileage-based!

Quote from: jp the roadgeek on August 06, 2025, 08:59:47 AMThe gore sign for the DOT exit (62) is still tarped over.

I just chauffeured my wife down to new Exit 61 for a doctor's appointment.

Southbound the "Exit 62" gore sign is visible.  There is still no exit number tab on the other signs for the exit southbound.

(Due to traffic, I didn't drive that section of the WCP northbound.)

Looks like they did the new numbers within the construction zone in Meriden.  Didn't get a chance to see the DOT exit, but they did miss the East Main St signage on the ramp from 91 South to 15 South. 
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

I can confirm, at least southbound.  Exit 67W (E Main St) is now Exit 64B and Exit 67S (I-91 South) is now Exit 64A. 

The only advance sign (if you want to call it that) for Exit 64B (former Exit 67W):

The camera misfired for the Exit 64B sign.

Exit 64A (former Exit 67S):

And yes, the ramp from I-91 South to the E Main St exit still lists it as Exit 67.  Not sure why this ramp split has a number and why 67 was chosen.  If anything, I think it would have been an I-91 South number, or better yet, have it Exit 16 (like NB) and have Rt 15 South be Exit 17.  And from the mainline, it could be signed "EXITS 17-16".  But with current CTDOT practices, ramps that split will not be given any separate designation.
