Temporary Schedule Changes Coming To Stamford Transportation Center

Information via CT Department of Transportation

STAMFORD, CT — The Stamford Transportation Center's center island platform located between tracks No. 3 and No. 5 will be temporarily closed beginning Feb. 13 so rehabilitation work and upgrades can be made to elevators and escalators, according to the Connecticut Department of Transportation.

The closure is scheduled to be in place through May 11. Upon completion of this work, the next phase of the Stamford Transportation Center Elevator and Escalator Rehabilitation Project will require the temporary closure of the center island platform located between Tracks No. 2 and No. 4. This work will end in mid-August.

Overall, the project consists of upgrading critical components to five of the elevators, allowing them to interface with new technology, increased performance, safety and aesthetics. Mechanical equipment will be replaced in 17 of the transportation center's escalators.

As a result of the scheduled work, select New Haven Line (NHL) trains will bypass Stamford to minimize congestion, and trains will be rerouted to the other tracks.

Passengers are being asked to check the train information boards for the track location for your train as it may be different. Full ADA access will be maintained at all times.
