Effective February 23, 2024, the Coast Guard regulations governing Metro-North bridges across the Mianus River in Greenwich, CT (Cos Cob Bridge), the Saugatuck River in Westport, CT (Saga Bridge), and the Housatonic River in Stratford, CT (Devon Bridge) are changed. All three bridges will operate as follows:
The draw will open on signal between 4:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. after at least a two-hour advance notice is given; except that, from 5:45 a.m. through 9:45 a.m. and from 4 p.m. through 8 p.m., Monday through Friday excluding holidays, the draw need not open for the passage of vessel traffic unless an emergency exists.
From 9 p.m. through 4:30 a.m. the draw will open on signal after at least a four-hour advance notice is given.
A delay in opening the draw not to exceed 10 minutes may occur when a train scheduled to cross the bridge without stopping has entered the drawbridge lock.
Requests for bridge openings may be made by calling (212) 340-2050.
