The project aims to enhance the station’s infrastructure, increase passenger amenities, and improve overall travel experience.
What’s Changing?
The renovation will focus on several key areas, including:
- Stations and Platforms: Upgrades to the station’s structure, including the replacement of outdated electrical and mechanical systems, will ensure a safer and more reliable service for passengers.
- Accessibility and Pedestrian Improvements: The project will include the installation of elevators, escalators, and ramps to improve accessibility for passengers with disabilities. Additionally, new pedestrian bridges and improved crosswalks will enhance safety and connectivity.
