Traffic control personnel will be on site directing motorists and pedestrians during the construction operations. Pedestrian traffic will be maintained at all times.

The Rowayton Station parking lots will be accessible during the road closure period. Access to the New York bound, north side parking lot, will be from Rowayton Avenue north of the bridge. Access to the New Haven bound, south side parking lot, will be from Rowayton Avenue south of the bridge.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation appreciates your patience as improvements and upgrades occur on the New Haven Rail Line. This work is part of an ongoing project to replace bridges and catenary between South Norwalk and Stamford. These projects support the State's continued effort to meet future needs on your public transportation system.
