On April 5, 1992, SEPTA began their 18-month-long RailWorks project, which included two multi-month shutdowns of the Reading mainline from Wayne Junction to Market East for emergency bridge repairs.
As part of the project, North Broad Street and Temple University stations were completely rebuilt.
Within two weeks of the closure, demolition of the old platforms was under way.
The rebuilt station has two side platforms serving only the outer tracks, which were chosen to straighten the curved tracks around the former island platforms and thus allow higher speeds through the station for express trains.
The pedestrian tunnel was closed and filled; access to the platforms is via ramps from North Broad Street.
The station, renamed as North Broad, reopened at the end of Railworks on September 5, 1993.

Before RailWorks, North Broad Street served 1,200 riders per day, many of whom were transferring to the Broad Street Line or changing for one of the few trains that stopped at Temple.
With the addition of Regional Rail platforms at Fern Rock Transportation Center for RailWorks, substantially more service to Temple through the Center City tunnel after the conclusion of the project, and sharply reduced service due to only having two platform tracks rather than the previous four, the importance of North Broad declined significantly after RailWorks.
By 2001, under 300 riders used the station daily.
