Hartford train service changes set to go into effect from April to October
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CT DOT) is letting customers know of upcoming train service adjustments on the Hartford Line.
The adjustments will be effective Tuesday, April 21, through Friday, October 30.
CT DOT said Amtrak is undertaking several construction projects to improve infrastructure along the corridor, and some weekday trains will be replaced by bus service between Springfield and Hartford. One Amtrak train will be bused the entire route.
Planned work includes installing new interlockings, drainage improvements, and maintenance and safety upgrades at several rail grade crossings.
Construction work will happen Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Additional details, including the temporary schedule, will be released in April 2026.
“These infrastructure projects are a vital step in modernizing the Hartford Line,” said Connecticut Department of Transportation Bureau Chief of Public Transportation Jeffrey Gonneville
