(Westport, CT) Notification was recently received from Metro North Railroad of their intention to periodically close the pedestrian bridge over the Saugatuck River. These closures are reported to be in connection with an improvement project that is slated to run from Monday, October 27, to Wednesday, November 26, 2025.

Beginning on October 27, Metro North Railroad will begin a project intended to make critical safety repairs to the pedestrian bridge connecting the Westport (Saugatuck) Railroad Station to Ferry Lane East. This construction will require that the bridge be kept in a closed position and will require a deviation of all marine traffic.

This project will also necessitate periodic closures of the pedestrian walkway. Metro North anticipates having to close the bridge to foot traf
