Merritt Parkway to Route 8….. that's about the only way.

If it's southern Shelton, you could get away with getting off right from Merritt.

It's an easy commute. I would say just consult Google Maps for quickest route.

I use app Waze on my phone. Try it is very helpful I connect thru my Bluetooth device and cant be better. Try I highly recommend especially that traffic flow is something that changing in any minute if not a second is just unpredictable. Cheers

You will generally be going against traffic so your commute should not be bad. Depending where in Norwalk you live, you can take either the Merritt Parkway (Route 15) or I-95 north to Route 8 north to Shelton. It is about 25 miles from Norwalk to Shelton so it should take you about 30 minutes. Good luck, Jay

Thank you All for the above replies... much appreciated, I actually got a job in Shelton CT ( 1 corporate drive 06484). Now for at least next few months i probably have to take up public transportation ( bus, train or something called car pool). I live in Norwalk 06854. Friends are you able to suggest the best way to travel ?

Or carpool. Or train to Bridgeport, connect to Derby, then taxi/Uber to work. That could add up.

Getting from Norwalk to Shelton without a car will likely be a problem. Checkout the CTRides website below for ride sharing options.

One Corporate Drive is the Enterprise Corporate Park complex. This is a large office complex in the middle of a suburban office area. The area is served by the Greater Bridgeport Transit District Bus Route 22X (see link below). The OP would need to get from Norwalk to downtown Bridgeport and then switch to this bus to get to Shelton. I have no idea how long that will take but it is not going to be a short trip. I agree with the others, the OP needs to get a car. Jay
