South Amboy station was upgraded to be fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 as part of a station renovation project from November 2006 to January 5, 2010. During the first phase of the project, a new $4.8 million pedestrian overpass was constructed, allowing safe transfers across the two tracks at the station. The overpass opened on March 11, 2005.[1][2] The second phase of the project replaced the two original low-level side platforms with a new ADA-accessible high-level island platform,[3] and reconstructed the station building.[2] The station received a new ticket office, canopies, signage, and lighting.[3] The second phase cost $29 million,[4] and was completed on January 5, 2010.[5]
