Amtrak’s William H. Gray III 30th Street Station Redevelopment
Beginning in January 2024 the South Concourse and Market Street Plaza were closed to the public. We anticipate the South Concourse opening to the public in late 2026 and construction throughout the Station continuing through 2028.
Access to the Station remains on the ground floor level through the 30th Street and 29th Street entrances. Station retail has been relocated to the Main Concourse in kiosks.
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.
