[edit] ADA accessibility and viaduct improvements
Station owner New Jersey Transit decided to perform work at East Orange station to improve accessibility for the handicapped and to repair eighty year old viaducts at the station.[2] At a cost of $22.9m, repair work at East Orange, along with nearby stations Brick Church and South Orange, commenced in 2004.[3] East Orange received a mini-high level platform as a result of the repairs, the tracks surrounding the station were upgraded with concrete ties and the stairways leading to the platforms were replaced.[4]
