As part of construction on the new Conshohocken Regional Rail Station, SEPTA in-house forces and additional contractors will be completing several critical items during a 10-day period in October. Please see the project schedule and impacts below:
- Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 15th and 16th, from approximately 7 AM to 6 PM: Installation of concrete panels on the outbound platform (next to Schuylkill River Trail). This work will be performed from the train tracks.
- Monday through Thursday, Oct. 17th through Oct. 20th, from approximately 9 AM to 3 PM: Installation of manholes on existing stormwater lines. Work has been approved by the County; signage and barriers will be installed to warn trail users of work next to trail.

- 11 PM on Friday, Oct. 21st through 3 PM on Sunday, Oct. 23rd: Installation of underground utilities in the Oak Street grade crossing track area. Work will be performed during track outage. Lighting at the new crossing will be used during the overnight hours.

What to expect: Heavy machinery will be present throughout this work.
Service Impact: During the weekend construction on Oct. 15th & 16th and 22nd & 23rd, shuttle buses will transport Regional Rail passengers between the Spring Mill and Elm Street stations.
