Co-op City station is a planned passenger rail station on the Metro-North Railroad New Haven Line, to be located in Co-op City, Bronx. The station is planned to open in 2027 as part of the Penn Station Access project. The station will be located under Interstate 95 along the southern edge of Co-op City, with two entrances on the north side of the tracks.[1]
History
The Baychester station of the New Haven Railroad was located at the same site.[2] A new station building was designed by Cass Gilbert around 1908, but never built.[3][4]
A 63-month design-build contract for the project was issued in December 2021.[5]
