Amtrak continues progress on the large-scale restoration and renovation project to enhance the William H. Gray III 30th Street Station and recently hosted a tour for media. This work will preserve this iconic Philadelphia landmark for future generations while transforming Market Street Plaza, expanding retail offerings, improving functionality, and enhancing the customer experience for Amtrak, SEPTA, and NJ TRANSIT passengers.
Amtrak has partnered with Plenary Infrastructure Philadelphia (PIP) as the master developer, whose responsibility is to design, build, finance, operate, and maintain the station improvements as part of a public-private partnership (P3) agreement. The project has an estimated capital construction value of $550 million with major elements of the station restoration and renovation to include:
- modernizing and expanding station food & beverage and retail offerings
- improving station operations and enhancing the customer experience
- upgrading The Porch landscaping and community amenities
- modernizing Amtrak corporate offices
- enhancing building infrastructure to achieve and maintain a state of good repair
Train operations are continuing as normal, but customers should allow extra time to access the boarding platforms due to construction activities
