Hang on, New Canaan Branch Commuters — You’re in for a Bumpy Ride
|
It’s going to be a rough summer for commuters from New Canaan as they cope with Metro-North’s shutdown of all trains on the New Canaan branch from Tuesday May 30 to Sept. 1. TRACK WORK: The Connecticut Department of Transportation says it’s doing major track work on the branch, including replacement of 8,000 ties, 1,600 feet of rail and needed bridge work. Because the New Canaan branch is just a one-track railroad, trains cannot operate while the work is being done. BUSING ALTERNATIVES: In place of the trains, Metro-North will run bus service from New Canaan to Stamford.
