SOUTHWEST CONNECTION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

Project Extended Through Saturday, June 27, 2020

The Southwest Connection Improvement Program, extended through Saturday, June 27, 2020, will rebuild the mainline infrastructure on the Media/Elwyn Line between 30th Street Station and the Arsenal Interlocking, just below Penn Medicine Station, portions of which date more than 80 years. This track area also supports Wilmington/Newark and Airport Line services making it a critical rail connection for Southwest Philadelphia, Center City, Delaware County, and the economic vitality of the region. A special construction Regional Rail timetable will be in effect for the Wilmington Line Service; the Airport Line will operate as a Shuttle Bus service with a special construction schedule; and service on the Media/Elwyn Line will temporarily be suspended.
