LYNDHURST, N.J. - NJ TRANSIT completed construction on the new Lyndhurst Station in New Jersey.
To celebrate the completion, President & CEO Kris Kolluri and local and state officials showcased the new station that will open on June 8th. Once the station opens, Kingsland station will close. Lyndhurst station will serve more than 800 weekday passenger trips and is ADA Accessible with high-level platforms and elevators. Additionally, the station has stairs and canopies. $30.9 million from the FTA made the station replacement possible. Previously, the older station was more than one-hundred years old and was not ADA Accessible. To better match the historic surroundings, the building was designed to match the historic style of the neighborhood.
“The completion of the new Lyndhurst Station is another step in our ongoing commitment to modernize our rail network and provide fully accessible facilities for all customers,” said NJ TRANSIT President & CEO Kris Kolluri. “By combining classic architectural elements with modern amenities, this new station demonstrates how thoughtful design can deliver long-term value to customers and the community.”
“The new Lyndhurst train station is poised to become one of the busiest transit hubs in Bergen County,” said Lyndhurst Mayor Robert Giangeruso. “This modern facility not only reflects our commitment to smart growth and infrastructure development but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of our town. By improving accessibility and connectivity, we are laying the foundation for a more prosperous and connected Lyndhurst.”
