Last week we reported on the Bston-NYC Amtrak rail cancellations due to a major construction project. The original dates were June 14-17. Today Amtrak is reporting that they have moved the dates to June 16-19. Here’s the update:

The installation of a new bridge span on the Thames River Bridge, originally scheduled for June 14 through 17, has been rescheduled for June 16 through June 19, due to an unexpected complication encountered by Amtrak and its contractor in dismantling the bridge’s counterweight.

To accommodate passengers, Amtrak has scheduled substitute rail service between Boston and New York via the inland route through Springfield, as well as other special trains that will serve segments of the Boston-New Haven-New York route. Limited connecting bus service to bypass the bridge outage will also be available during this period. We are scheduling substitute service.

It looks like there will now be some service ut it will be a bit delayed it seems. If you are into trains or bridges, check out the Thames River Bridge Project documentation.
