Walk Bridge Replacement Project

The existing Walk Bridge carries four tracks of Metro-North Railroad’s (MNR) New Haven Line (NHL), which runs between New Haven, Connecticut and Mount Vernon, New York, and is part of the Northeast Corridor (NEC). The NHL is currently used for MNR’s commuter rail service, Amtrak passenger rail service, and freight rail service operated by the Providence and Worcester Railroad. The NHL right of way (ROW) and rail infrastructure within Connecticut, including Walk Bridge, are owned by the State of Connecticut, and maintained by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT).
