The Connecticut
Department of Transportation (CTDOT) has begun the
installation of underground signal and communication
cables, the first portion of construction for the New
Haven-Hartford-Springfield (NHHS) Rail Program. The
cable installation is part of the work required to
upgrade signals and communications for the NHHS rail
corridor. Installing the cables in advance clears the
path for subsequent track and infrastructure
improvements to re-establish Track 2.
On October 16th, the
cable installation work began in Newington, West
Hartford and Hartford. Work will begin next month in
Hamden and progress north toward Newington. Work
north of Hartford is scheduled to begin in March of
next year. The cable installation work, which is
being coordinated by Amtrak, is expected to be
completed in the fall of 2014.
CTDOT will post updates
on the status and location of the cable installation
activities on the NHHS program website at www.nhhsrail.com
and by email. To receive email updates, please
