[1][11] Completed for $28,500, and opened on May 28, 1911,[12][13] the new station had a main building on Landing Road and two large pedestrian towers.

[16] Currently, Lake Hopatcong Station's 96-space parking lot runs under the eastern arch.

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority was to give $800,000 during 2010 for design, $750,000 for right-of-way acquisition in 2011 and $6.575 million in fiscal year 2012 to build it.
