From the Manayunk Bridge, SEPTA passengers might follow the Cynwyd Heritage Trail to Cynwyd Station or use the street network to reach Manayunk Station. At this time SEPTA does not have plans to use the bridge for an active rail line. It is written into the lease that if SEPTA does need to use the bridge in the future, it would be able to do so - hopefully, Smith said, with both uses coexisting. SEPTA sees added benefits in the potential of this project to reduce trespassing and vandalism currently taking place on the bridge. The project will also make drainage and safety improvements at no cost to SEPTA.
