Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The purpose of the award is to fund the Connecticut Department of Transportation's construct of the replacement of the Walk Bridge in Norwalk, CT. Walk Bridge is a four-track railroad bridge that crosses the Norwalk River, on the New Haven Line subdivision of the Northeast Corridor (NEC).
The swing bridge is over 100 years old and is subject to failure that halts north and southbound service on the NEC between New York, New York and Boston, Massachusetts. Connecticut Department of Transportation will remove the existing bridge and construct a new multi-span dual-lift bridge, construct new embankments and retaining walls, and install new track and rail communication and signals.
The objective of the project is to replace the bridge to enhance the safety and reliability of rail service, decrease maintenance costs, and allow for increased capacity, as well as improve navigational capacity and dependability in this section of the Norwalk River.
The intended beneficiaries include Amtrak passengers on the Northeast Corridor, Metro North Railroad commuters, and marine traffic in this section of the Norwalk River.
