Ansonia station is a commuter rail station on the Waterbury Branch of the Metro-North Railroad system located in Ansonia, Connecticut. The station has one low-level side platform to the east of the track. The station is owned and operated by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT), but Metro-North is responsible for maintaining platform lighting, trash, and snow removal.[1] There is a parking lot with 50 parking spaces managed by the city of Ansonia.[1][3] Rail service on the line is replaced by buses from July 20, 2026, to May 31, 2027, during construction that includes a reconstruction of the station with an accessible platform.

Reconstruction

[edit]

In 2018, ConnDOT awarded a grant of $389,000 to the city of Ansonia for safety and beautification improvements to the station including improved lighting, sidewalks, and accessibility.[5] In November 2021, Governor Ned Lamont indicated plans to reconstruct the five non-accessible Waterbury Branch stations, including Ansonia.[6] By late 2024, construction was to take place from 2025 to 2027; Ansonia station was to cost $18 million.[7]

Construction began in May 2026; the new platform is expected to be open in June 2027, with the $29.2 million project fully complete in May 2028. The platform will be 350 feet (110 m) long with a canopy over its full length. Buses will replace rail service from July 20, 2026, to May 31, 2027, to allow construction at Ansonia and other stations to take place.[8][9]
