The station was refurbished in the 1990s. On June 16, 2010, New Jersey Transit (NJT) announced it had agreed to a $1 million (2010 USD) contract for a consultant to study the addition of high-level platforms to make the station compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). NJ Transit's 2015 budget allocated $9.6 million for the final design for a major renovation that would make the station compliant with the ADA by adding elevators, and also include canopies and upgrades to communication systems. Ground was broken on the $45 million (2022 USD) project on April 21, 2022, with Governor Phil Murphy in attendance.
