First sentence: On June 29, 1938, approximately half the final length of Connecticut's Merritt Parkway - seventeen and a half miles of gleaming white concrete - was officially opened by a motorcade of some forty cars with Governor Wilbur Cross and the aged former congressman Schuyler Merritt, for whom it was named, heading the procession.
