Beginning September 20, 2014 and continuing each weekend through November 23, 2014, South Eastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) and third-party contractors will replace bridge timbers and make structural improvements to the Cobbs Creek and Darby Creek Viaducts along its Media/Elwyn regional line in Delaware.

 

Work will include replacement of bridge timbers, painting, superstructure, substructure steel repairs and foundation reinforcement.

The fall work is one of the first phases of SEPTA’s “Rebuilding for the Future” infrastructure, investment and revitalization program that tackles a $5-billion backlog of projects including bridge replacements, substation overhauls and station improvements. This bridge rehab project totals $43.25 million and includes improvements at the Ridley Creek Viaduct next year.

This project is one of the first construction projects utilizing funding from ACT 89. SEPTA and third-party contractor forces will also work on various track and power improvement projects across the entire line as part of the Rebuilding for the Future Program.
