Eversource completes relocation of electric transmission lines on Norwalk Bridge, enabling next phase of CTDOT replacement project
Jul 31, 2025
In support of the Connecticut Department of Transportation’s (CTDOT) Norwalk Bridge Replacement Project, Eversource is commemorating the completion of its transmission work, a necessary step to enable the next phase of the replacement of the aging WALK Bridge and ensure continued railroad operation along the vital Northeast Corridor – the busiest passenger railway in the country carrying more than 2,000 trains daily. After years of close collaboration with CTDOT, the City of Norwalk and other project partners from early planning through construction, the energy company successfully relocated two electric transmission lines that spanned the top of the bridge, which now run underground through tunnels beneath the Norwalk River and city streets to keep power flowing for customers.
