The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced yesterday the new Coatesville Train Station is being advertised for bid.

The selected contractor will handle the project, which is aimed at revitalizing the surrounding community with a modern accessible train station and improved connections to the Keystone Corridor, PennDOT officials said in a press release.

The new station will be designed to improve ADA accessibility and provide level boarding platforms, elevators, ramps, site lighting and security, improved drainage and surface parking.

Additionally, the project will enhance multimodal connectivity and ensure that freight movements through the new station area are maintained, PennDOT officials said.

Interested contractors must be registered business partners with PennDOT and submit their bid through PennDOT's Engineering and Construction Management System (ECMS). Additionally, contractor construction-related questions must be submitted electronically through ECMS.

A pre-bid meeting will take place virtually on July 27.
