State bond money approved for Metro North 'Danbury Branch Dock Yard Project'

State bond money was approved today for the design, engineering and construction of a new rail yard on the Metro North Danbury Branch line.  The rail yard will be in Norwalk.  $17.5 million was approved to make upgrades and to modernize the Danbury branch line where it connects with the main New Haven Line. 

 

This will also accommodate the replacement of the 119-year old Walk Bridge.  Those improvements include adding track sidings, signal work and electrification to make room for train storage and passing of trains during the replacement project. 

 

Governor Dannel Malloy says the long term Danbury Branch Dock Yard Project will also provide additional electrified trackage for the New Haven Line.
