Construction
Completed on Eastbound Center Island Platform At Stamford Train Station
July
3, 2002
Work
marks significant progress on the Stamford Train Station Enhancement
Project
Stamford,
CT- Connecticut Department of Transportation officials have announced
that construction on the eastbound center Island platform has been
completed as progress continues on the Stamford Train Station Enhancement
Program, and is scheduled to be opened to the public on Friday,
July 5, 2002.
The
opening of the new platform will change the access routes and boarding
patterns for some commuters, and as a result additional travel time
should be planned to allow for time to board trains and listen to
public address announcements for instructions and additional information.
The
new eastbound center platform, which services tracks 2 and 4, is
accessible from the concourse level of the station via the stairway,
escalators or elevator. The platform can also be accessed from a
stairway located at the pedestrian tunnel, which runs underneath
the station.
The
Department of Transportation appreciates the patience and understanding
of commuters and other station customers during this project.
