The team replaced a roof, a retaining wall, and a stairway at this station while also placing new railings as well as relocating electrical facilities. This building will be more durable because of its improvements in draining and materials.

It also upgraded aesthetics and functionality at station platforms. Employees renovated brick and stucco facades, implemented new lighting systems, and incorporated digital informational displays. This means that Mahwah is a station that offers a brighter and friendlier environment for its daily train users.

NJ Transit Strengthens Regional Connectivity Through Investment

Catering to the Main Line and Bergen County Line, Mahwah Railway Station brings together thousands of commuters in their journeys to destinations such as Hoboken and New York. This renovation is part of an overall plan by NJ Transit to improve transportation infrastructure in New Jersey.

“Each of our projects is an investment in more than just infrastructure repair,” said Kris Kolluri, president and CEO of PSEG Long Island. “It is an investment in our customers. We have over 20 of these types of projects in New Jersey that we are undertaking in order to make sure that our customers continue to get a high level of service.”

By combining technical expertise with a passenger-centric vision, NJ Transit remains a model railroad system across the country in terms of its commitment to a more sustainable and passenger-friendly rail service. Investments in projects by NJ Transit lower costs of repair and extend the longevity of infrastructure.
