Waterbury Branch Line Improvements - Naugatuck Station

Current platform conditions

Proposed station parking improvement rendering

Proposed new station rendering

The existing Naugatuck station, located north of downtown near the site of the historic station, will be relocated south to better connect with downtown and nearby development sites.

New Station

The new Naugatuck Station, located south of Maple Street and adjacent to Parcel B, will be more visible, easier to access from downtown, and will help spur economic development in the area. The new station will similarly be built to modern station design standards, including a 350-foot, high-level platform, ticket vending, real-time arrival information, and will be fully ADA accessible. With modern but classic visual elements and consistent signage, the Naugatuck Station will serve as a centerpiece of a revitalized Naugatuck as well as a high-quality connection between the Borough and the Rail Line.  

To facilitate the new station, improvements will be made by the CTDOT to Water Street and surrounding on-street parking, and will align with projects currently planned by the Borough for improvements to Maple Street and the surrounding area, will create a mixed-use, walkable neighborhood between downtown, the East Side of the Naugatuck River, and the new station. Additional connections between the station, downtown, and the Naugatuck River Greenway will further support these efforts.
