The new Metro-North train station at Merritt 7 is open for commuters, however, the pedestrian bridge going over the railroad tracks to the office complex is missing some of its needed glass, delaying its debut. The delay is due to ongoing supply chain issues that began during the COVID-19 pandemic, Morgan said. Although the bridge looks complete, Morgan said several panels of glass are missing. Once complete, the pedestrian bridge will directly connect commuters on the Danbury Branch of Metro-North Railroad to the largest corporate park in Fairfield County, according to Merritt 7’s website. In addition to the bridge construction, CTDOT will repave and expand the parking lot from 88 spots to 105 spots in August. Demolition on the old platform is expected to start soon, after the June 7 opening of the new platform, Morgan said. The new platform is 500 feet long and heated to prevent snow and ice accumulation. The project, which began in September 2020 and was originally expected to be completed in fall 2022, has been previously delayed due to supply chain, underground utilities and drainage system issues.
