History
The station building was built in 1928 to replace an older structure built by the Central Railroad of New Jersey that was moved to Lewis Street and currently serves as a private residence there.[2] It been listed in the state and federal registers of historic places since 1984 and is part of the Operating Passenger Railroad Stations Thematic Resource.[3]
Station renovations
The station was refurbished in the 1990s. On June 16, 2010, New Jersey Transit (NJT) announced it had agreed to a $1 million (2010 USD) contract for a consultant to study the addition of high-level platforms to make the station compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). NJ Transit's 2015 budget allocated $9.6 million for the final design for a major renovation that would make the station compliant with the ADA by adding elevators, and also include canopies and upgrades to communication systems.[4][5] Ground was broken on the $45 million (2022 USD) project on April 21, 2022, with Governor Phil Murphy in attendance.[6] The first high level platforms opened in May 2024 and can only accommodate 4 cars while the rest of the construction continues.
