Amtrak’s William H. Gray III 30th Street Station Redevelopment

 

Beginning in January 2024 the South Concourse and Market Street Plaza will be closed to the public.

Station retail will be relocated to the Main Concourse in kiosks. Access to the Station will remain on the ground floor level through the 30th Street and 29th Street entrances. Additional information about Station closures and detours can be found here.

A large-scale restoration and renovation project is now underway at the William H. Gray III 30th Street Station. The project will enhance the station’s functionality and improve the customer experience for Amtrak, SEPTA and NJ TRANSIT customers. The project will also improve the Market Street Plaza, expand retail offerings, and provide other benefits to the local community. This project is the second phase of station renovation following Amtrak’s recent façade cleaning and restoration efforts. It is also the first phase of the Philadelphia 30th Street Station District Plan. With nearly 500,000 SF of renovation and modernization, the William H. Gray III 30th Street Station Redevelopment Project is a critical step towards fulfilling the Philadelphia 30th Street Station District Plan.
