Crews will soon be installing the pedestrian bridge from the new garage to the Stamford Transportation Center which means there will be road closures in the area. The work will take place at night from 7 p.m. – 7 a.m. from Monday, July 31 through Thursday, August 3.

The following areas will be shut down during that time frame:

• South State Street between Greenwich Avenue and Washington Boulevard
• Washington Boulevard between North State Street and Station Place

According to the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), drivers at the station along Station Place and on the on-ramp for I-95 will be largely unaffected.

The entire $77 million project consists of: 

• 928-space, 7-level parking garage located on South State Street, Stamford
• 320-foot pedestrian bridge over Washington Boulevard connecting the garage to the Stamford Transportation Center (STC)
• Elevators and stairs connecting the garage to the Track 5 platform
• 38 electric vehicle parking spaces
• 150 bike parking spaces
• Centralized STC parking management space and customer counter
• Unique architectural design and façade lighting program
• Building-integrated photovoltaics for on-site energy production
• Minor STC renovations at the pedestrian bridge connection
• Pedestrian crossing improvements at South State Street & Washington Boulevard
• Connectivity to the planned Mill River Greenway

The CTDOT anticipates the project will be completed in September.
