Connecticut’s governor was given an update on the major renovations of Norwalk’s Merritt 7 train station by the state’s Department of Transportation (CTDOT) on Sept. 10, a project set to be completed in fall 2022. The goal of the reconstructed Merritt 7 station, along with expediting travel to New York, is to create a more commuter-friendly environment, where residents can live, work and shop in the same area without the need for car travel, Lamont said. When finished, though, the new Merritt 7 will serve 28 trains daily, eight of which are direct to New York’s Grand Central Station, Andreski noted. Connecticut first authorized funding for the project in 2017, when $21 million was approved to borrow for the upgrades to the Merritt 7 stop and design work for a proposed station servicing Orange. Finally, construction work on the Merritt 7 station began in September 2020.
