Amtrak says it reopened the renovated South Concourse at William H. Gray III 30th Street Station in Philadelphia on November 13, marking a milestone in the station’s approximately $550 million redevelopment.
In its November 13 announcement, the railroad also reported restoration of the Main Hall and new elevators and escalators at four of the station’s five platforms. New electrical substations and heating and air conditioning equipment now serve the station, according to Amtrak.
The broader redevelopment remains underway. Amtrak says major construction has shifted to the north side and schedules completion of the capital investment by the end of 2028. The concourse opening does not mark completion of the entire project.
