The station is reached from High Town via a modern footbridge over a main road and a valley, the present bridge having opened in 1994. This replacement tubular steel bridge occupies the site of a lattice bridge closed and demolished several years previously. A section of the original footbridge adorns the centre island of one of the road traffic [[roundabout]]s.
 
Plans for a significant redevelopment of Bridgnorth station were approved by Shropshire Council in August 2016. The first phase of the project involving the construction of a new single-storey building in GWR circa 1900-style to provide a tea/refreshment room and new toilet facilities was completed at the end of 2018, as was the creation of an additional car park.<ref>Severn Valley Railway News, Issue 205, Spring 2019, pp. 6-106–10.</ref> Further phases will include the installation of a turntable in the locomotive yard and the renovation of the existing station building housing the booking hall, station shop and Railwayman’s Arms public house. Additional funding will be required in due course for the construction of a new volunteer accommodation building.<ref>[http://www.svr.co.uk/NewsItem.aspx?a=742 SVR Website news item] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160823002004/http://www.svr.co.uk/NewsItem.aspx?a=742 |date=23 August 2016 }} Retrieved 22 August 2016</ref>
