NJ Transit has announced completion of exterior renovations at Mahwah Station, marking another milestone in the commitment to improve the customer travel experience and preserve critical transportation assets.
The Mahwah renovation project, which cost $2.4 million, is modernizing and enhancing the station with safety and aesthetic upgrades that improve both functionality and structural integrity.
“With exterior upgrades now in place, Mahwah Station is already offering our customers a safer, more welcoming and more inviting space,” said NJ Transit President and CEO Kris Kolluri. “It’s just one example of over 20 NJ Transit station projects currently in progress, all aimed at strengthening the customer experience through thoughtful, long-term investment.”
NJ Transit has been serving this station since the inception of its rail operations in 1983.
Elements of the 21-month project that have been completed include critical infrastructure improvements such as the replacement of the station roof, retaining wall, and a stairway, along with the installation of new architectural railings and the relocation of electrical equipment. Additional upgrades included improved site drainage, a new concrete apron, refreshed landscaping and new bike racks for customers.
Additional exterior improvements include partial stucco and brick repairs, minor lighting upgrades, refurbished stairs and the installation of upgraded information displays. Construction was done by DMR Constructions Services Inc. of Delray Beach, Fla.
Train service was not interrupted during the renovation project. NJ Transit said that on an average weekday, the station serves approximately 115 customers.
Geographically, the Mahwah station is the northernmost station within the state of New Jersey. However, NJ Transit operates rail service for Metro-North’s Port Jervis and Pascack Valley lines in Orange and Rockland counties.
