Construction Work at New Haven Line's Union & State Street Stations
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is currently making improvements to Union and State Street stations in New Haven. The work will include many aesthetic and customer service improvements to enhance public access, public information, and safety at both stations.
The project includes upgrades to the electrical, sprinkler and fire protection systems, improvements to the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems as well as rehabilitation of the two elevators at Union Station. Other significant elements of the work will be the reconstruction of the pedestrian tunnel at Union Station, and upgrades to the public address and visual messaging systems at both stations.
Construction at Union Station will include removal of masonry walls, partitions, and flooring which will limit customer access. Work will be confined to off-peak hours, primarily from 10 PM to 6 AM with the major portion of the work being performed from midnight to 4 AM.
Signage will be displayed to direct and guide customers. Construction is scheduled to take place over the next year with a target completion date of May 2011.
In order to facilitate rehabilitation of the underground pedestrian tunnel at Union Station, customers will be restricted to one side of the tunnel for accessing the elevators and stairs to the train platforms. During the holidays – beginning the week of Thanksgiving and ending after the New Year - construction work will be suspended and access to both sides of the underground tunnel will be opened to provide total access during these peak travel periods.
CTDOT has been coordinating the project with the New Haven Parking Authority, MTA Metro-North Railroad, Amtrak and the contractor to ensure safety and access for all customers.

All other access to the cross passageway will be unaffected. This project is expected to take 20 months to complete.
