In addition to the road detours, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) has expanded service and capacity on several regional rail lines to accommodate travelers in the affected area. This includes expanded capacity on the Trenton, West Trenton and Fox Chase regional rail lines. For more, visit septa.org.
The highway repairs are expected to take several weeks at least, and it may be several months before the roadway is fully reopened.
