Train riders getting off at Norwalk’s Merritt 7 station are now steps away from Main Avenue and the Merritt 7 office complex, thanks to the opening of a new pedestrian bridge. After months of delays due to supply chain issues, the pedestrian bridge opened on Wednesday, according to Connecticut’s Department of Transportation spokesperson, Josh Morgan. Along with the pedestrian bridge, a new 500-foot, heated platform at Merritt 7 opened in June 2023. The glass enclosed bridge’s opening was stalled because of missing glass panels that enclose the bridge and equipment for the elevators that connect people to the bridge and platform. Construction on the bridge wrapped up in December, but CDOT was waiting on official sign-offs before opening access to the public. Supply chain issues slowed progress throughout the entire project since the groundbreaking in 2020. Originally slated to be complete by fall 2022, both the material for the platform and bridge were tied up in supply issues. Underground utilities and drainage system issues also stalled the projects.
