Amtrak has begun making upgrades to Brattleboro Station in Vermont, which will include the state’s first level boarding train platform.
The station will also have both interior and exterior accessible waiting areas, along with other modernization and accessible improvements inside, on the platform and in the parking lot, according to an Amtrak press release.
The project is being done in partnership with the town of Brattleboro, state of Vermont, Federal Railroad Administration, New England Central Railroad and Vermont Agency of Transportation.
The station also will feature a waiting room with fixed seats for 36 passengers and additional standing room, and a new Americans with Disabilities Act-accessible, single-occupant restroom, and a covered outdoor waiting area with benches and more standing room.
Other platform upgrades include a new electric snow-melt system, lighting, railings, a detectable warning edge and signage.
