Westport Coronavirus: Saugatuck, Green Farms Rail Stations Closed

WESTPORT, CT — The Greens Farms and Saugatuck train station buildings in Westport are closed until further notice in the continuing effort against the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19), according to the Westport Police Department.

Though the two stations are closed to the public, in both cases, it will not impact normal Metro-North rail service and operations at these locations.

"This closure is in response to the current COVID-19 outbreak and is an additional safeguard to keep groups from congregating in close contact," said Westport police officials in a statement. "The timeframe for their eventual re-opening is unknown at this time, but will announced."

Confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Connecticut continue to rise, reaching about 100 as of Wednesday evening. Two people have died from the virus, and Gov. Ned Lamont has taken additional steps to try to contain its spread.
