Future
The current Claymont station is slated to be replaced with the Claymont Regional Transportation Center. The new station will be located 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) north of the current station at the former site of Evraz Claymont Steel, which is being redeveloped into a mixed-use office, commercial, and light industrial development, and will have connections to area roads, public transportation, and pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Plans for the new station date back to 2005. On July 29, 2016, the Claymont Regional Transportation Center received a $10 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The new station is projected to cost $40 million and is expected to open in 2020.
