Construction commences on New Brunswick Train Station within Middlesex County, NJ, managed by NJ Transit.
After years of planning and preparation, Middlesex County, New Jersey, and New Jersey Transit (NJ Transit) have officially entered the construction phase of the New Brunswick Train Station project. This ambitious undertaking aims to modernize and expand one of the busiest transit hubs along the Northeast Corridor, with the goal of concluding all construction by 2028.
The project, which includes a multi-phase construction process, will begin with sidewalk and exterior work along Easton Avenue and Albany Street. Significant renovations to the historic station building and platforms are also included in the project, ensuring that the station remains a symbol of the city's rich history while embracing modern advancements.
One of the most notable additions will be the construction of a new ticketing center, complete with an elevator and waiting areas, designed to improve the overall passenger experience. Vertical circulation improvements - including elevators and escalators - have already been completed as part of an earlier train station project, further enhancing accessibility.
The partnership between the county, NJ Transit, and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy also includes a three-year agreement with Rutgers University. This agreement designates New Brunswick Station as the official Home of Rutgers University, with the aim of further promoting and integrating New Jersey's top public research university into the heart of the city's transportation hub.
As the project moves forward, it is expected to bring numerous benefits to the community, including increased capacity, improved accessibility, and a more seamless travel experience for passengers. Construction bids are currently being sought, with plans for construction to begin in late fall of 2025.
While a $7 million design contract for improvements at New Brunswick Train Station was announced in November 2023, further details about the specifics of the contract were not found in the search results. As the construction phase progresses, more information about the project is expected to become available.
Stay tuned for updates on this exciting project, as New Brunswick Train Station transforms into a modern, expanded, and accessible transit hub for the future.
