Work has begun on handicap accessibility for Amtrak customers. C&O Plaza is closed until further notice. This is an upgrade that Alderson and Amtrak officials have been working on for quite a while.
This will provide for a wheelchair lift and ADA parking for customers. It will also resurface the platform at the station that is in much need of repair.
“We are fortunate to have been chosen for this major upgrade to the station. The work on the project between the town and Amtrak began in early 2018. These kinds of high dollar projects take several years to become reality, according to the Town of Alderson. “Once completed, it will improve our depot, the area around it, and the access for disabled customers. As you can see, our FY 2019 ridership numbers have shown an increase.”
