Another cinema, with a two-story 4D screen and 169 seats, is being built on the other side of the aquarium and will open soon after the IMAX theater closes, aquarium spokesperson Dave Sigworth said.
The cinema at Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, Conn., which features a six-story IMAX screen the largest in the state will close on Jan. 18 and be demolished to make way for a project to replace a 124-year-old railroad bridge, the aquarium has announced.

NORWALK, Conn. Norwalk officials say they caught the State “DOT” red handed last week, violating at least two out of the three permit conditions in Walk Bridge-connected work.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation was working Dec. 9 on an underwater cable, dredging near the Walk Bridge, Shellfish Commissioner Steven Bartush and Norwalk Police Officer Mike Silva said at Wednesday’s Harbor Management Commission meeting. Although the permit said the work could only be done with “appropriate containment” and only on an incoming, or slack tide, the curtains designed to contain the silt released by dredging were “inadequate,” Bartush said. The tide was heading out, meaning that silt was heading toward the shellfish in the harbor.
NORWALK, Conn. Ever taken a survey where you submit the questions? Well, you can now.
The City is seeking its residents’ opinions on its industrial zoning.
The survey, posted by the consulting firm Utile, had less than 50 statements up for a vote but the total is up to 185 Wednesday evening.
The idea is, participants add their own statements. Then others agree, disagree or pass.
“The intent of the survey is to get feedback on peoples’ thoughts and concerns related to industrial zones, the uses allowed and the types of businesses that should be targeted,” Planning and Zoning Director Steven Kleppin said in an email. “It is not your typical survey which asks questions and total the results. It is meant to be an interactive discussion where the response changes based on responses. In addition, people can track and view the conversation as it unfolds. The survey runs through the end of the year.”
MEMBERS of the Cotswold Canals Trust are celebrating the completion of the first stage of the restoration of the Stroudwater Navigation canal. Less than one year since the first spade went into the ground, a new canal channel through the A38 Whitminster roundabout has been constructed. The channel is part of the restoration works of the Stroudwater Navigation canal, which will allow the reopening of a section of waterway which was lost when the A38/A419 roundabout and M5 were built in the late 1960s west of Stonehouse. “We will soon be able to begin the rest of the restoration of Stroudwater Navigation, linking our beautiful landscape with the rest of the UK’s inland waterways network, said Aimee-Louise Malcolm, Cotswold Canals Trust ambassador.
