Construction Slated For Noroton Heights Railroad Station North Lot

DARIEN, CT — Darien will construct drainage improvements on the North parking lot of the Norton Heights Railroad Station located on Heights Road, according to an announcement from the town.

Beginning on Monday, Oct. 2, construction will include excavation and installation of an underground drainage system. The drainage improvements will direct water runoff from the parking area to underground, reducing water runoff to flood-prone Heights Road.

The project is expected to be completed Friday, Dec. 1.

Work will progress in phases to maximize the number of available parking spaces., the town said.

The parking lot will not be closed at any time, and passage through the parking lot will remain available throughout construction. Only portions of the lot will be closed.

Residents should consider using the parking on the south side of the railroad tracks with access from Hollow Tree Ridge Road or Ledge Road.

All available parking spaces will remain as posted (pay station or permit parking), and parking enforcement will remain in effect.

The town will post information regarding project status by message board and postings on the town website.

Anyone with concerns or questions should contact the Darien DPW office at 203-656-7346.
