$4M rail project proposed on Danbury branch in Bethel, Wilton: ‘Stabilize embankments’

Community members will get an opportunity later this month to learn about and provide feedback on a roughly $4 million track and slope stabilization project proposed for Bethel and Wilton sections on the Danbury branch of the Metro-North Railroad. The state Department of Transportation will hold a virtual public information meeting at 6 p.m. Aug. 29, when residents can provide comments and ask questions about the proposed improvement project. Construction is expected to begin in 2026, with no right-of-way impacts anticipated during the process. With a $4 million estimated construction cost, the project is expected to be undertaken with 80 percent federal funds and 20 percent state funds, according to the DOT. The Aug. 29 public information meeting on the project will start with a presentation by DOT and be immediately followed by a question-and-answer session.
