Celebrating the WALK Bridge in Norwalk, CT

Watch as engineering leaders, public officials, and infrastructure experts gather to showcase one of America's most complex infrastructure projects—replacing a 129-year-old railroad bridge while maintaining service for 175 daily trains and 125,000 passengers on the nation's busiest rail corridor.

🔴 EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
The WALK Bridge, built in 1896, is being replaced with state-of-the-art twin vertical lift spans in a $1 billion project that will transform rail travel along the Northeast Corridor. This engineering marvel requires unprecedented coordination to build the new bridge while trains continue operating overhead.

📍 ABOUT THE WALK BRIDGE PROJECT
Critical Infrastructure: Serves Metro-North, Amtrak, and freight trains on the Northeast Corridor
Daily Impact: 125,000 passengers depend on this crossing every day
Economic Importance: Failures cause millions in lost productivity from Boston to Washington, D.C.
Engineering Innovation: Twin lift spans that operate independently for maximum reliability
Century of Service: Replacing a bridge built in 1896 with infrastructure designed for the next 100 years.
