Crews have been working to renovate Chestnut Hill East Station since January 2025. The construction is ongoing and scheduled to be completed in summer of 2026. The project will provide better infrastructure, parking lots and accessibility for the station, creating a more comfortable and safer experience for riders.
Project Location and Hours
Work is taking place at Chestnut Hill East Station, located at 100 E. Chestnut Hill Avenue in Philadelphia. This phase of the project began Monday, September 8 and is scheduled to be finished on Wednesday, December 31.
Normal construction hours are 7 am to 7 pm Mondays-Fridays. Occasional work outside of these hours may also be needed to maintain the project’s timeline.
Impact on Riders
While this work is being completed, passengers will board and deboard trains from a temporary platform at the station.
Parking availability will also be reduced to 10 spaces in the north lot on Newton Street, including one ADA-accessible space.
Project Details
- A stormwater management system has been installed in the south parking lot. This system will hold more than 80,000 gallons of stormwater under the parking lot to help alleviate runoff and flooding.
- Foundations have been installed for the new ADA-accessible, high-level platform. The existing steel canopy structure is being restored for use in this new platform.
- Workers will be finishing improvements in the south parking lot, replacing catenary structures and installing the new platform.
