The state DOT is preparing for upgrades at the railroad crossing on Cannon Road in Wilton.  The railroad carries Danbury Branch of Metro-North over Long Ridge Road in Wilton. 

The project will begin on July 26th.  Cannon Road will be closed at the crossing starting at 10am.  The closure will continue through Wednesday July 31st at 4pm. 

There will be an increase in noise levels in the vicinity of the railroad crossing due to the construction.  There also will be construction activities occurring at night starting Friday, July 26th, until Monday morning, July 29th. Work will be confined to the area of the at-grade crossing. 

A detour will be set up.  On the weekend of July 27th and 28th, there will be no train service between Danbury and Norwalk.  Alternate bus service will be provided.  Train service is expected to resume on schedule on Monday, July 29th.
