Prior to the initial phase of work last year on Devon Bridge, the transfer station was built by Metro-North forces, and was well-received by Waterbury Branch customers.
The following changes will be in effect for Waterbury Branch customers through October: southbound customers who usually transfer to main line trains at Bridgeport will instead get off at Devon Transfer Station; customers who travel to New Haven will transfer again at Bridgeport for a main line train to New Haven; northbound customers will be dropped off main line trains at Devon Transfer Station and board a waiting train for Waterbury.
Undertaken by The Connecticut Department of Transportation and Metro-North, the Devon Bridge work involves steel repairs, a new wooden deck and new rail. Its completion is a prerequisite to the final phases of CTDOT's overhead catenary wire replacement project.
CTDOT is coordinating with Metro-North in an effort to ensure that the work occurs with the least customer impact possible. Work will take place during daylight hours seven days a week, weather permitting.
Devon Transfer features a walkway connecting two four-car length platforms. The temporary location has lights and a public address system and will solely provide train-to-train transfers.
