NJ Transit continues its statewide effort to improve the rail system throughout New Jersey, providing passengers with greater comfort, safety and improved connectivity. In this context, the extensive exterior renovation of Mahwah Station in Bergen County was successfully completed. By prioritising safety, accessibility and sustainability, the company increases the long-term value of suburban facilities.
Extensive Renovation Works at Mahwah Station
The refurbishment works at Mahwah Station aimed to significantly improve both structural resilience and passenger experience. The main studies completed are as follows:
Structural Improvements: Renovation of a roof, retaining wall and a staircase, installation of new railings and relocation of electrical installations.
Durability: The overall durability of the building was improved through drainage and material improvements.
Aesthetics and Functionality: The brick and plaster facades of the station platforms were renewed, new lighting systems were applied and digital information screens were added.
Thanks to these improvements, Mahwah has become a modern station that offers a brighter and more welcoming environment for daily train users.
Strengthening Regional Connectivity
Serving the Main Line and Bergen County Line, Mahwah Train Station connects thousands of passengers travelling to major hubs such as Hoboken and New York City. This renovation project is just one part of NJ Transit’s overall plan to improve the transport infrastructure in New Jersey.
Kris Kolluri, President and CEO of PSEG Long Island, emphasised the importance of the projects as follows: “Each of our projects is an investment in much more than infrastructure repair. It is an investment in our customers. In New Jersey, we have more than 20 such projects that we have undertaken to ensure that our customers continue to receive high quality service.”
By combining technical expertise with a passenger-focused vision, NJ Transit is on its way to becoming a model rail system across the country with a commitment to a more sustainable and passenger-friendly rail service. These investments reduce repair costs and extend the life of critical infrastructure.
