Madison Station Historic Restoration & Accessibility Improvements
Background
In conjunction with the Borough of Madison, NJ TRANSIT is designing a series of improvements to protect the immediate and long term condition of this historic station and make the station accessible.
Project Scope
The project entails a comprehensive approach to architectural, structural, site, pedestrian, landscaping and lighting issues. The project includes improvements to key customer areas, including new restrooms, waiting areas and platforms.
The accessibility improvements include construction of two mini high-level platforms with canopies and lighting, two elevators, modifications to the pedestrian subway floor slope and other miscellaneous accessibility improvements as required to provide access to station facilities.
Additionally, the accessibility improvements include interior improvements to the Baggage Room located in the Eastbound Station Building, and interior improvements and exterior rehabilitation work to the westbound Shelter House, as required to install and protect the elevators being installed
in these areas, along with a rehabilitation of the Eastbound Station Building Roof and the installation of new Passenger Communication and CCTV Systems.

Current Status
Historic restoration is complete. Construction of accessibility improvements are underway.
Next Milestone

Benefits
