The Walk Bridge Program consists of several inter-related rail and infrastructure construction projects in Norwalk, CT. The centerpiece of the Program is the replacement of the 124-year-old Norwalk River Railroad (Walk) Bridge.
A 240' vertical lift bridge was selected to replace the current four-track swing bridge. This option was advanced out of more than 70 alternatives due to having the smallest environmental footprint, the shortest overall construction schedule, the shortest period of navigation and rail restrictions and the lowest cost of all other movable alternatives.
