SEPTA’s Buildings & Bridges group continues to work with third-party contractors to renovate Chestnut Hill East Station. The project involves the construction of a new ADA accessible platform, newly placed railroad track, ADA compliant restrooms, a new fire alarm system, updated lighting, building repairs and new roofing on all platforms.
Construction began in January 2025 and is scheduled to be completed in fall 2026. We look forward to welcoming riders on the new, ADA-accessible platform, which reopened on Monday, Oct. 12, 2026, as crews work to complete the project.
Impact on Riders
Train service operates as normal at this station.
Only 18 parking spots (including 1 ADA spot) are designated for customers on East Chestnut Hill Ave., alongside the South lot. Additionally, no overnight parking is allowed at Chestnut Hill East Station until construction is completed.
The North Lot at Chestnut Hill East Station is closed for stormwater and restoration work until further notice.
Project Location and Hours
Work is taking place at Chestnut Hill East Station, located at 100 E. Chestnut Hill Avenue in Philadelphia.
Residents of this neighborhood can expect some level of construction noise and flood lighting required to complete this work.
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.
