• New Haven Line Track and Mobility Improvement between mp 56.8 e of Bridgeport and 60.1 w of Milford

  • This forum will be for issues that don't belong specifically to one NYC area transit agency, but several. For instance, intra-MTA proposals or MTA-wide issues, which may involve both Metro-North Railroad (MNRR) and the Long Island Railroad (LIRR). Other intra-agency examples: through running such as the now discontinued MNRR-NJT Meadowlands special. Topics which only concern one operating agency should remain in their respective forums.

Connecticut – New Haven Line Track Improvement and Mobility Enhancement (TIME) Part 1 and 3 (Up to $71,648,000)

The proposed project includes project development and final design for track improvements between mileposts 56.8 and 60.1 on the New Haven Line in Connecticut. The project involves reconstruction of seven rail overpass bridges, upgrade of all tracks to FRA Class 6 standards, track realignments, installation of a new interlocking, replacement of catenary system components, and railbed drainage improvements. The project will benefit Amtrak's intercity services as well as Metro-North Railroad and CTrail services. As matching funds, Connecticut would provide $16,954,880 and Amtrak would provide $5,957,120.
