NORWALK HOUR (October 12, 2023) — Leaders behind the $1 billion project to replace a 127-year-old railroad bridge say they're trying to minimize noise and other impacts as construction on the Walk Bridge continues over the next six years. 

Norwalk business leaders and Walk Bridge project leaders met over coffee this week to discuss what the next several years will look like as the Walk Bridge Project construction picks up steam.

“We know that this is a topic that has generated a lot of conversation throughout the community, and so we’ve invited the Walk Bridge people who know everything there is to know about it here to have discussions, answer your questions,” said Mayor Harry Rilling at the beginning of the city’s third-quarter Business Roundtable meeting Wednesday morning. “We’re confident that working together with the Walk Bridge and the city of Norwalk and our team, we’ll be able to mitigate to a great degree the impact that the Walk Bridge has on the city.”
