Changes Likely Coming To PATCO's Westmont Station

HADDON TOWNSHIP, NJ — A project that would give the Port Authority Transit Company's Westmont Station in Haddon Township a new look is moving closer to starting, the Delaware River Port Authority said.

The authority is soliciting bids until 2 p.m. Tuesday from companies who, if awarded the bid, would be expected to make the following improvements to the Port Authority Transit Company (PATCO) Station, according to a bid request released last month:

• knocking down some of the aluminum and glass doors, storefront system and glass block walls at the station head-houses;
• providing new aluminum and glass curtain-wall system at the station head-houses and new entry doors;
• conducting various concrete repairs;
• installing a new ceiling system in the head-houses;
• providing new fluid-applied floor finish system; new light fixtures; and new windscreens at
  the platforms; and
• painting various parts of the building.

Bids for the project are due by 2 p.m. Tuesday, according to the authority.

The request for bids did not indicate a date that PATCO would like the work should be started or completed.
