Merritt Parkway Bridges

The 69 original bridges of the Merritt Parkway were designed by George L. Dunkelberger. Each bridge had a unique design that represented various 1930s architectural styles, such as Art Deco, Art Moderne, French Renaissance, Gothic, Neoclassicism, and Rustic. Some of the bridges have been reconstructed in recent years, and three of the original bridges have been torn down and replaced. The presence of these artistic bridges is one of the reasons that the Merritt Parkway has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Below is a list of the bridges that cross over the Merritt Parkway and another list of bridges that the Merritt Parkway uses to cross over another road or major waterway. The lists are arranged from south to north.
