Amtrak reschedules bridge work in Connecticut

Amtrak has rescheduled a bridge replacement project in Connecticut for next week and will offer limited alternate train and bus service on the Northeast Corridor between New York and Boston.

The job over the Thames River between New London and Groton is now scheduled for June 24 to June 27. It was originally set to begin June 7 before being postponed twice.

The work marks the final stage of a multiyear, $83 million improvement project on the 90-year-old bridge.

All Acela Express service north of New York will be canceled during the project. Train service between New York and Boston will still be available via Hartford and Springfield. (AP)
