The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing the temporary closure of the Stamford Transportation Center’s center island platform located between Tracks #3 and #5 for rehabilitation and upgrades to the elevators and escalators.

The Stamford Transportation Center Elevator and Escalator Rehabilitation project improves service reliability and safety of the traveling public. This closure is required for the rehabilitation of platform elevator No. 2 at the Stamford Transportation Center. This closure is scheduled to begin the morning of February 13, 2023, and will be in place through May 11, 2023. 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 #2 and #4 for the rehabilitation and upgrades to the elevators and escalators. This work is scheduled to begin immediately after the contractor finishes on the track 3/5 platform and will end in mid-August.

The Stamford Transportation Center Elevator and Escalator Rehabilitation Project consists of upgrading critical components to five of the elevators allowing them to interface with new technology, increasing performance, improving safety, and updating aesthetics. Additionally, the project will be upgrading 17 of the escalators, replacing all the mechanical equipment improving reliability, increasing efficiency, and adding up-to-date safety features.
