A ribbon-cutting ceremony for Norwalk’s long-awaited new Merritt 7 train station will officially welcome commuters to the completed project within the next week, a Connecticut Department of Transportation spokesperson said. Work crews completed construction between Christmas and New Year’s Eve for the project that the state approved funding for in 2017 — although part of the new station has been open to commuters since June, said Josh Morgan, CTDOT communications manager. Now that the construction work is finished, Morgan said the station needs final inspections. The Merritt 7 train station, which is on the Danbury branch of Metro-North’s New Haven Line, offers direct access to New York’s Grand Central Terminal. The project was initially slated for completion in fall 2022 but supply chain, underground utility and drainage system issues delayed the work.
