SEPTA Bethayres Station Interlocking Project construction to begin Sept. 6, continue on weekends through October

Work for the SEPTA Bethayres Interlocking Project will begin on Saturday, September 6, Lower Moreland Township announced today.

The project will take place on weekends through September and October from 6:00am – 6:00pm between Jenkintown-Wyncote and Neshaminy Falls stations.

From the project’s summary:

As part of the Bethayres Interlocking Project, SEPTA in-house forces will be raising the profiles for both tracks in and around Bethayres Regional Rail Station during the four weekends in September. As a result, the West Trenton Line will convert to a single tracking operation between Jenkintown-Wyncote and Neshaminy Falls stations. On Saturdays and Sundays during September, from 6 am to 6 pm, ALL trains will board and discharge passengers on the INBOUND platform. There will also be a temporary speed reduction during this time which will impact travel times. This will affect the following stations: Noble, Rydal, Meadowbrook, Bethayres, Philmont, Forest Hills, Somerton, Trevose and Neshaminy Falls.

Lower Moreland officials shared a project factsheet in May. More details in the flyer below:
