WILMINGTON The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority announced that the Federal Highway Administration, in coordination with the Federal Railroad Administration and Federal Transit Administration, has awarded $1 million to the MBTA for improvements to North Wilmington Station on the Haverhill Commuter Rail Line.
The $1 million grant will be used to relocate and reconstruct the existing Commuter Rail station platform along an area of single track adjacent to Route 62. This improvement will result in a new ADA-compliant boarding area and allow all train coaches to come to a stop outside the motor vehicle grade crossing area. The MBTA and its operating partner for Commuter Rail, Keolis Commuter Services, worked in collaboration on station design and configuration, and to develop and submit the application for this competitive federal grant.
