Stamford Station Track Platform Closed
The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing that the stairs to access Track 5 Platform from South State Street will be permanently removed on December 6, 2021. Access to the platform will be restored in the Summer of 2023 from level 2 of the new Stamford garage.
The project consists of a new seven and a half story parking garage using the Design-Build Method. The garage will have a ramp connecting the second floor to the Track 5 platform, a pedestrian bridge connecting the garage to the Stamford Station, and the realignment of South State Street in Stamford.
