The installation of a new bridge span on the Thames River Bridge, originally scheduled for June 14 through 17, has been rescheduled for June 16 through June 19, due to an unexpected complication encountered by Amtrak and its contractor in dismantling the bridge's counterweight.

To accommodate passengers, Amtrak has scheduled substitute rail service between Boston and New York via the inland route through Springfield, as well as other special trains that will serve segments of the Boston-New Haven-New York route. Limited connecting bus service to bypass the bridge outage will also be available during this period. We are scheduling substitute service.
