Amtrak announced the completion of the Greenwood, Mississippi, station upgrades that make the facility compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The $5.4 million project included a new concrete platform, a renovated waiting room, drinking fountains and new bench seating. The station also now has two ramped connections from the parking lot that helps riders with mobility devices.
Amtrak also worked with the city of Greenwood to redesign the sidewalk along Carrollton Avenue to create better pedestrian access.
To date, Amtrak has completed 168 ADA-related projects as part of its ADA Stations Program, with 20 stations brought into compliance in fiscal-year 2021 for $85 million. Another 41 stations are targeted for completion in FY2022 at an estimated cost of $125 million.
