As part of a much larger undertaking, the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is overseeing two key projects that will be completed in advance of the highly publicized Walk Railroad Bridge replacement. The CP243 Interlocking Project and the Danbury Branch Dockyard are independent of the structure replacement over the Norwalk River. “The CP243 Interlocking and Danbury Branch Dockyard projects will improve the dependability of operations on the New Haven Line during construction of the new Walk Bridge,” said James Fallon, CTDOT manager of facilities and transit. “The new Walk Bridge will be constructed in two halves. During construction, the four-track service will need to be reduced to two-tracks to allow work to progress on two tracks at a time.” The CP243 Interlocking Project will facilitate construction of the Walk Bridge by allowing trains to switch tracks, and maintain service, during the necessary two-track outage. The Danbury Branch Dockyard Project will electrify the southern portion of the Danbury Line, up to one mile north in the area formally known as the Dockyard. The electrification of the line will allow electric commuter and freight trains to travel up to Jennings Place. The trains can be staged and change direction of service when not in use on the mainline. Fallon said conditions are ideal for performing the work. “Fall 2017 was a good time to start construction of the CP243 Interlocking and Danbury Branch Dockyard Projects, because the improvements need to be completed in advance of the two-track outage required for Walk Bridge construction. The improvements see BRIDGE page 14
