Welcome to the webpage for Project 0310-0058, Railroad Station Improvements Project in Madison. 

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) will conduct an in-person public information meeting concerning the Madison Railroad Station Improvements Project on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, at the Madison Town Campus, Conference Room A, at 8 Campus Drive in Madison at 5:30 p.m. The meeting location is ADA accessible.

This meeting aims to inform the community about the proposed project, gather feedback, and answer any questions.

The project involves:

  • Improvements to the Madison Shore Line East (SLE) Railroad Station by including a new north side high-level rail platform to be in the vicinity of the existing south side high-level rail platform that was constructed in July 2008.
  • A new pedestrian bridge over the active rail line that will connect to the north and south side platforms. The bridge will include dual elevators on both the north and south side platforms to satisfy requirements of the Americans with Disabilities act (ADA).
  • The construction of an access road from Old Route 79 to the platforms in-order to build the north side high-level rail platform and elevator shafts, and to allow for emergency and maintenance access to these north side project elements.

Due to the construction of the north side platform, elevator tower and access road existing wetlands will be disturbed. The wetland loss will be mitigated with two mitigation sites within the town.

Right-of-way impacts associated with the proposed improvements include:

  • A partial take from the town where the north platform and tower is being proposed.
  • A partial take from the town for a mitigation site at Horse Pond.
  • An access easement and permanent easement for the second wetland mitigation site at a Copse Road site.

Construction is anticipated to begin in fall 2027 based on the availability of funding, acquisition of rights of way, and approval of permit(s). The estimated construction cost for this project is approximately $35 million. This project is anticipated to be undertaken with 100% state funds.
