Co-op City station is a planned passenger rail station on the Metro-North Railroad's New Haven Line, to be located in the Co-op City neighborhood of the Bronx in New York City. 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]
