A major milestone for rail transportation in Connecticut!
AI Engineers (AIE) joined Governor Ned Lamont, Connecticut Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto, and state and local officials for the ribbon cutting of the new Windsor Locks Train Station, marking an important step toward improved regional connectivity and downtown revitalization.
As CTDOTās construction engineering and inspection consultant, AIE played a key role in delivering this modern, ADA-compliant station along the New HavenāSpringfield rail line.
The project incorporated innovative engineering solutions, including a Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) platform supported by steel beams and pile foundations, as well as an integrated snow-melting system. Additional improvements included expanded parking, enhanced pedestrian and bicycle access, and improved connections to Bradley International Airport.
The new station marks a significant investment in Connecticutās transportation infrastructure, bringing rail service closer to downtown Windsor Locks and strengthening connections for residents, commuters, and visitors throughout the region.
Congratulations to CTDOT, Amtrak, the Town of Windsor Locks, and the entire project team on reaching this important milestone!
