Mt. Arlington train station gets final OK
The proposal to build a new train station off Route 80 in Mount Arlington cleared a final hurdle this morning when the NJ Transit Board of Directors approved the $12.1 million project’s construction, NJ Transit officials said.
The board awarded the construction contract to Terminal Construction Corp. of Wood-Ridge. Construction on the station is expected to begin this summer and completed by late 2007.The station, which will be served by trains on the Montclair-Boonton line and the Morristown Line, will give commuters from western Morris, Sussex and Warren counties, as well as parts of Pennsylvania, access to direct rail service to Morristown and New York City.This board’s approval marks a successful end to a three-decade campaign by local officials to create a transit hub west of the Route 80-Route 15 interchange at Exit 34, where eastbound traffic consistently backs up.
