 Project Highlights

Purpose

This project is addressing accessibility issues at the platforms and 1953 station building. The work will also improve passenger safety and provide operational flexibility for trains.
 

​Description

This $36 million project is the first of three proposed phases of major improvements to develop Paoli Station into a fully ADA-compliant, modernized, intermodal passenger station. Phase I work includes:

  • A new high-level (accessible) platform between the eastbound and westboun​d tracks, replacing the existing platforms​;​
  • Elevators and ramps;
  • A pedestrian overpass;
  • ADA improvements to the existing station building; and
  • Upgrades to the station's rail infrastructure.
     

status

Construction began in February 2017 and is expected to be completed by mid-2019​​. Structural steel is in place for the north, south, and center towers, and in June 2018 the steel for the pedestrian bridge was installed.
 

Funding Partners

Amtrak is leading the project with additional funding by PennDOT, the Federal Railroad Administration, the Federal Transit Administration, and SEPTA.​​
