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.

Progress update on the WALK Bridge construction - the pier pedestals have been formed and are ready to accept the new steel beams to form the list tower structure. This is a big deal! Soon, you will see how the new bridge is coming together - beam by beam, starting, literally, from the rockbed in the Norwalk River to the steel reinforced concrete pier to the tower. Watch it all happen, live, via the webcams set up at all four WALK Bridge work platforms! Link here: https://www.walkbridgect.com/webcams/ and check out this latest pic of the steel beams at the northeast side getting ready for installation. These are the beams the team just signed to commemorate this construction milestone!
