Major Infrastructure Project to Deliver Faster, More Reliable Service on the NH Line
July 28, 2026You won't have to move to the middle cars once the platform construction is complete. On Monday, I joined Governor Lamont, Connecticut Department of Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, Mayor David Chess, the Stratford Delegation, and members of the Stratford Town Council, at a groundbreaking ceremony in Stratford to mark the start of construction on TIME-1, the largest component to date of TIME FOR CT, a comprehensive, multi-year initiative to rebuild, improve, and expand Connecticut’s rail network. TIME FOR CT focuses on three core elements: service, infrastructure, and Connecticut's rail fleet. These investments, each essential to achieving the complete vision, will speed up trains and shorten travel times.
The three-phase, $1.6 billion TIME-1 project will modernize critical sections of the New Haven Line, creating the infrastructure necessary to deliver faster, more frequent, and more reliable rail service between New Haven and New York City. The New Haven Line is the busiest individual commuter rail line in the United States.
