As construction chugs along to replace the 128-year-old Walk Bridge in the heart of South Norwalk, officials say the $1 billion project won’t face any winter delays. A crew of 85 to 90 workers has been working at the railroad bridge, moving transmission cables under the Norwalk River and installing structural supports, according to Rory McGlasson, public involvement manager at WSP USA, the program management consultant for the project. The new railroad bridge, which carries Metro-North and Amtrak trains over the Norwalk River, is slated to for completion by 2029. All work necessary for the bridges’ northern tracks to be operational will be done by October 2025, Bird said. As winter approaches, though, Bird said that crews have no plans of slowing down construction — except in the case of a major storm that makes conditions unsafe. But a little snow won’t stop construction, he said.
