Leaders behind the $1 billion project to replace a 127-year-old railroad bridge say they’re trying to minimize noise and other impacts as construction on the Walk Bridge continues over the next six years. Norwalk business leaders and Walk Bridge project leaders met over coffee this week to discuss what the next several years will look like as the Walk Bridge Project construction picks up steam. The project broke ground in May to replace the four-track swing bridge over the Norwalk River that serves as a key link in the Northeast Corridor, the busiest rail corridor in the nation, according to the project’s website. While impacts on traffic have been minimal so far, project leaders said there will be lane closures and road closures down the line to improve the infrastructure of the railway. Lane and road closures are not expected until 2024 and 2025, said Jeff Bird from the Walk Bridge Project team.
