NJ Transit officials cut the ribbon on a renovated Elizabeth Station that includes additional platform capacity, new station buildings and a renovated public plaza.

NJ Transit President and CEO Kevin Corbett was joined Federal Transit Administration Region 2 Administrator Michael Culotta, Acting DOT Commissioner and NJ Transit Board Chair Fran O’Connor, state Senator Joseph Cryan and Elizabeth Mayor J. Christian Bollwage to celebrate the completion of the work at this critical station along the busy Northeast Corridor rail line.

The re-opening of the westbound station building today marks the completion of this major $74.5 million renovation. In September 2023, work on the eastbound station building was completed and reopened for customer use. Both sides of the station feature longer platforms for additional boarding capacity, accessibility improvements including renovated elevators as well as additional staircase access, security and communications system enhancements.

In addition, the plaza surrounding the westbound station building was renovated to tie the new facility into the community.
