WALK Bridge The WALK Bridge project includes inter-related rail and infrastructure projects in Norwalk, CT.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation initiated the WALK Bridge Program to replace the deteriorating railroad bridge that crosses the Norwalk River in Norwalk, CT. The 127-year-old existing four-track swing bridge will be replaced with a state-of-the-art vertical lift bridge. When closed, the WALK Bridge connects the rail line that passes through the heart of historic South Norwalk on the west side of the river to East Norwalk on the east side. The Walk Bridge is a critical transportation link between Washington, D.C., New York City and Boston, commonly called the Northeast Corridor. The Northeast Corridor is America's most frequented rail line in both ridership and service frequency. The Replacement of the WALK Bridge will provide safe and reliable rail transportation services while improving navigational capacity and dependability for waterway users. The new bridge will be redundant with two independent moveable spans. This allows one span, or two tracks, to remain in use when the other needs to be serviced. The resilient and sustainable structure will withstand extreme weather events like storm surges and high winds.
