NEWINGTON, Conn. - Acting State Transportation Commissioner James F. Byrnes
announced today the Milford Railroad Station's main building will reopen on
Monday (February 18) to serve the general public.

The station building was closed in February 2001 for renovations. The
improvements were part of a $6.8 million project to upgrade the train
station in Milford as well as the station in Darien. The Department of
Transportation awarded the contract to Banton Construction of North Haven.

The work in Milford included upgrading the station's restroom facilities as
well as a total revamping of the electrical and heating systems, new floors
and ceilings and a handicapped accessible ramp in compliance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act. Train service and access to the station's
two passenger boarding platforms was maintained during the building
renovations.
