Lancaster Station Repairs and Improvements

Under Construction

Amtrak is undertaking critical improvements and repairs at Lancaster Station in coordination with PennDOT. The project includes replacing existing platforms and foundations, rehabilitating platform canopies, insulating the pedestrian overpass, resurfacing floors, replacing windows with historically accurate fenestrations, rehabilitating the historic baggage lift enclosure, repairing station windows, replacing door closers, and replacing HVAC mechanical equipment. The south platform reconstruction was completed and returned to service in November 2024. The north platform reconstruction is ongoing and expected to be completed by January 2026. State of good repair work to the pedestrian overpass and station building will be completed by March 2026. The project is coordinated with PennDOT's pedestrian bridge extension project, anticipated to be completed in fall 2026. Additionally, the Amtrak Police Department facilities at the station are being renovated, with completion expected in summer 2025.
