Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
This project will fund the design from the preliminary (15%) through final (100%) design, as well as National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) activities.
The design will be informed by two goals: (1) to increase safety of train drivers and passengers passing over the structure, as well as the safety of those using watercraft below, and (2) to maintain train frequency and reliability for Metro-North, Amtrak, and freight.
CTDOT is working to identify the engineering scope required to conduct a full replacement with a structure that will provide a crossing with a 100-year service life.
Intended beneficiaries - Amtrak, MNR commuter, Class 1 and Class 2 freight (CSX P W).
