Hartford’s Union Station is getting a new passenger platform and other upgrades.
The general contractor on the project is Torrington’s O&G Industries, which said it expects to complete the job by April. O&G has a $3.1 million contract with the state Department of Transportation.
Besides the 260-foot-long platform, O&G is building a new egress stair tower, decorative railings and ornamental fencing, as well as new electrical and communication rooms within the station, which is located on Amtrak’s New Haven-Springfield line.
There will also be new lighting, signage, information display systems, video surveillance, fire alarms and bird control devices, according to O&G.
