MARC trains to UD? Possibility inches closer with award of Newark train station contract [View all]
A likely expansion of passenger rail service to the University of Delaware inched closer last week when the state awarded its second contract to reconstruct the Newark Train Station.
Wilmington-based Bancroft Construction Company won the phase-2 contract with a $7.6 million bid – nearly double a state engineer's $3.8 million cost estimate.
With the award, Bancroft crews will construct a station building for waiting passengers that includes bathrooms and a ticket window. The work is expected to last 453 days, according to contract documents.
