A major project is underway to improve access to the station and redevelop parts of the site. This project will shift the Appenzell Railways tracks and platforms a short distance to the south, permitting the construction of a new bus loading area off Bahnhofplatz. Besides affording greater capacity, this loading area will be handicap-accessible. Traffic congestion will be further reduced by the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Bahnhofplatz and Bahnhofstrasse, just west of the station. Construction work began in January 2021; it is estimated that the entire project will be complete by 2028.
