WALK Bridge

WALK Bridge The WALK Bridge project includes inter-related rail and infrastructure projects in Norwalk, CT.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation initiated the WALK Bridge Program to replace the deteriorating railroad bridge that crosses the Norwalk River in Norwalk, CT. The 127-year-old existing four-track swing bridge will be replaced with a state-of-the-art vertical lift bridge. When closed, the WALK Bridge connects the rail line that passes through the heart of historic South Norwalk on the w

est side of the river to East Norwalk on the east side. The Walk Bridge is a critical transportation link between Washington, D.C., New York City and Boston, commonly called the Northeast Corridor. The Northeast Corridor is America's most frequented rail line in both ridership and service frequency. The Replacement of the WALK Bridge will provide safe and reliable rail transportation services while improving navigational capacity and dependability for waterway users. The new bridge will be redundant with two independent moveable spans. This allows one span, or two tracks, to remain in use when the other needs to be serviced. The resilient and sustainable structure will withstand extreme weather events like storm surges and high winds.

For the WALK Bridge project and the four local railroad bridges, infrastructure improvements are continuously underway on the rails, roads and river that the railroad bridge intersects. So it's not 'just a railroad' improvement project - although that's a huge part of this effort.

Building new railroad bridges while keeping the railroad operational is a modern day requirement. Back in the 'day' when the WALK Bridge was built, construction challenges were the same - how to build a bridge over the active Norwalk River which was super busy with freight, vessels of all kinds and a very active waterfront. Check out these pics and imagine what the area must have been like back then! And then celebrate this modern day marvel and take a tour of the new WALK Bridge via the website: https://www.walkbridgect.com/design/
