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.
While the situation remains fluid, travelers should plan ahead and build in extra travel time for northbound and southbound travel through the area. Travelers can find the most up-to-date information on the situation from PennDOT at pa.gov/i95updates.
