NEW HAVEN — A more than $100 million project to upgrade aging infrastructure at State Street Station received mixed feedback at a recent public information session with the state Department of Transportation. During last week’s session at High School in the Community, DOT officials, as well as representatives of engineering and architectural firms, said they’re looking to elevate the overall landscape bridging State Street and Wooster Square. The officials specifically talked about two related projects: upgrading the platform, elevator and stairs at State Street Station and narrowing the Court Street Bridge and closing it to vehicular traffic. According to DOT Project Manager Jonathan Kang, the combined projects are estimated to cost $113 million from state and federal funding. Kang said the narrowing of the Court Street Bridge is required for track alignments to support plans to replace and elongate the currently deteriorated center platform. Doing so, he said, will allow for passengers to enter and exit trains more quickly as more doors will be serviced and will improve access to the station through Court Street. Currently, an average of 40 trains stop at State Street Station on weekdays, officials said.
