The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing the closure of Railroad Daily Parking Lot 8 due to work on the I-95 Bridge over Saugatuck Avenue (Route 33) in Westport beginning on Monday, July 17, 2023. Bridge No. 00062 (I-95 over Route 33 – Saugatuck Avenue) is being replaced, using lateral slide accelerated bridge construction methods, which will require building the bridge adjacent to the current bridge prior to sliding it in the final location. This will hinder the use of parking Lot #8 adjacent to the bridge. Parking will resume in Lot #8 on November 5, 2023. In the meantime, commuters are advised that alternative daily parking is located nearby at parking Lot #7. Parking in and around the station is controlled by the Westport Police Department and this link can be used for additional information about parking around the station, https://www.westportct.gov/government/departments-a-z/police-department/railroad-parking
