Norwalk, Connecticut – Connecticut Department of Transportation officials have announced that there will be nightly road closures on Rowayton Avenue in Norwalk, under the Metro-North Railroad Bridge, between Devils Garden Road and Hunt Street, during the following week:

- Thursday night, August 28 and Friday night August 29

- Tuesday night, September 2 through Saturday night, September 6

The roadway will be closed from 9:00PM to 5:00AM each night that the work is scheduled, in order to remove the existing bridge steel for Track 1. Commuters will need to follow the posted detour signs during this time. Please allow for extra time to reach the train station and board your train. The Connecticut Department of Transportation understands the inconvenience of these closures and will complete this work as quickly as possible. Your patience and cooperation are greatly appreciated.

During this time, local traffic will be permitted to access the railroad facilities and residences, but no traffic will be allowed to pass below the bridge. Traffic control personnel will be on site directing motorists and pedestrians during the construction operations. Pedestrian traffic below the bridge will be maintained at all times.

The Rowayton Station parking lots will be accessible during the road closure period. Access to the New York bound, north side parking lot, will be from Rowayton Avenue north of the bridge. Access to the New Haven bound, south side parking lot, will be from Rowayton Avenue south of the bridge.

This work is part of an ongoing project to replace bridges and catenary on the

Metro-North New Haven Line between South Norwalk and Stamford.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation appreciates your patience as improvements and upgrades occur on the New Haven Rail Line. These projects support the State’s continued effort to meet future needs on your public transportation system.
