From June 2006 to January 2007, the station was closed for rehabilitation as part of a multi-phase reconstruction of the entire western Market Street Elevated.[4] The renovated station included new elevators, escalators, lighting, and other infrastructure, as well as a renovated brick station house.[3] The station reopened in January 2007 but the work was not fully completed until June 18, 2007.[3] The project resulted in the station becoming compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
