The Mount Joy Amtrak station underwent a five-phase renovation project to improve pedestrian access and parking at the station.
This new train station improves ADA accessibility and features covered, elevated platforms which replaced low-level ones to make boarding trains easier for passengers. Access has been improved with the addition of two elevators, two enclosed stair towers, and a pedestrian overpass between the east and westbound platforms. Work also included adding 69 parking spaces, while improving the 112 existing spaces and slope stabilization. All upgrades enhanced the borough’s revitalization plans while keeping pedestrians and travelers safe in the area.
Wagman’s Geotechnical Construction Group worked closely with the project to provide temporary support of excavation, foundation micropiles and pipe piles for a permanent shoring wall.
