Station layout
South Amboy station recently finished being upgraded for ADA and handicap access. Phase one of this project included the building of a new pedestrian overpass allowing safe transfers across the two tracks at the station. The bridge cost a total of $4.8M when it opened on 14 March 2005.
The second engineering and construction phase consisted of replacing the two original low-level side platforms with a new ADA-accessible high-level island platform and a reconstruction of the current station building. Among the new improvements to the station are a new ticket office, canopies, lighting, and signage. The cost of the new platform and station amenities amounts to $29M. The second phase of improvements was completed on January 5, 2010.
