Public Information meeting with State of Connecticut Department of Transportation regarding the Wallingford Railroad Station Relocation

This is going to be item #9 on the Town Council Agenda for Tuesday May 28th; the meeting itself begins at 6:30PM

There is no way to be certain when the item will come up and it may be taken out of order; if you have any interest at all on this I would suggest you attend the meeting.

CTDOT Begins Cable Installation for NHHS Rail Program

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 register on the NHHS program website.
