New Haven - Hartford - Springfield Rail Program, 3/22:
Construction Update: State Street Railroad Station
Beginning March 27th and concluding by April 3rd, there will be construction activity to replace the entrance canopy in front of State Street Station in New Haven.
During construction, access to the pedestrian bridge will remain open and there will be no disruption to train service.
Removal of the existing canopy and installation of the new canopy in front of the existing pedestrian bridge will occur during nighttime hours and the canopy to the north will be assembled during the daytime hours. There will be construction noise throughout this period and temporary lighting to support overnight work in the area. As needed, pedestrian traffic will be directed away from construction areas to ensure safety.
Access to the north and south driveways will be closed throughout construction until the crane leaves the site. However, the south sidewalk will remain open at all times and traffic patterns on State Street will allow for pedestrian drop off and pick up during peak train service hours of 7:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. During this time, New Haven Police Department will be on site to safely direct pedestrians to the sidewalk.
Please note that this schedule is subject to change.
This work is part of the overall upgrade of the New Haven-Hartford-Springfield rail line – now branded as the CTrail Hartford Line – scheduled to begin expanded service in January 2018.
