A $61 million refurbishment of the Cornwells Heights Train Station at 799 Station Ave. in Bensalem Township is expected to begin in 2026. Plans include the installation of 600-foot-long, high-level platforms and a pedestrian overpass with elevators to make the site safer and more accessible. Project funding includes $30.5 million from the Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration, an investment made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Other funding sources include $244,000 from Amtrak and $13.1 million from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission. U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R, PA-1) called the project “a significant investment” to the SEPTA line that makes stops in Levittown, Croydon and Eddington, among other places. Fitzpatrick said the overall Northeast Corridor improvements will make “the infrastructure, economy and workforce” stronger.
