Metro-North Railroad is scheduled to replace a worn rail at the Richmond Hill Road crossing, and will close the busy street there Oct. 3 to 8 to get that work done.
The road will close at 10 a.m. on the 3rd—a Friday, and will reopen at about 4 p.m. the following Wednesday, according to a bulletin posted by Metro-North.
“All associated emergency personnel for the town of New Canaan will be notified,” Metro-North said. “The detour will be implemented via fixed message signs supplied by CTDOT and installed by the town of New Canaan.”
Train operations will run as usual on Oct. 3, then there will be no branch service in New Canaan on Saturday or Sunday the 4th or 5th, with service resuming as usual on Monday Oct. 6, Metro-North said.
