The Connecticut Department of Transportation has a $35 million plan for a shoreline train station improvements project. The plan calls for improvements to the Madison Shore Line East Railroad Station that will require acquisition of rights of way and impact local wetlands, records show. The work would include construction that is anticipated to begin in fall 2027, according to the Department of Transportation. The project also is anticipated to be undertaken with 100% state funds, according to the DOT. Connecticut Department of Transportation Project Manager Scott Anderson said, “This project relates directly to CTDOT’s ongoing commitment to improve commuter rail services.” For example, the project would include a new pedestrian bridge over the active rail line that would connect to the north and south side platforms, according to the DOT. “The proposed work at the town’s Shore Line East Station will make commuter rail services modern, reliable and convenient so that the future transportation needs of Connecticut’s residents are met,” Anderson said, in a statement.
CT DOT plans new $35 million transportation project. It will be paid for by the state.
