elevated pedestrian bridge. A small parking lot will be built on the west side of the tracks, with a larger lot shared with the Bigelow Commons development on the east side. The station is estimated to cost $6–9.5 million. In February 2017, the state announced an additional $50 million in funds, including money to complete design of Enfield station. Design was to be completed by 2020. Hartford Line service began operation on June 16, 2018. In April 2019, the town proposed to fund construction of an interim station - a single side platform on the west side of the single track. That proposal would allow service to Enfield to begin while the state searches for funding for full double-tracking and a permanent station. The town set aside $670,000 of the estimated $2.5 million cost in October 2019. By January 2021, the station was expected to be complete by the end of 2022. By April 2021, platform construction is expected to begin in October 2022, with the station opening about a year later. The state designated $35 million for the station project in December 2021. In June 2022, the state announced $13.8 million in federal funding for the station. At that time, design was expected to be complete in mid-2023, with construction beginning in early 2024. In March 2021, the adjacent vacant "Casket Building", a brick building that was once used to manufacture casket hardware burnt down; plans for the station had connected the structure to the southbound platform to provide station amenities.
