Throughout this month, SEPTA crews have been working on the Southwest Connection Improvement Program, rebuilding the main infrastructure on the Media/Elwyn Line between 30th Street Station and the Arsenal Interlocking, which is below Penn Medicine Station (former University City Station).

The work, which takes place every weekend, began on August 7th and is expected to be completed this Sunday, Aug. 29.

This Saturday and Sunday, there will be some SEPTA service changes to facilitate the construction:

The Airport Line will operate as a shuttle bus between the airport and 30th Street Station, and the Media/Elwyn Line will operate with a shuttle bus between 49th Street and 30th Street Stations. The Airport Line shuttle bus will not make stops at Penn Medicine Station. The Media/Elwyn Shuttle will stop for Penn Medicine Station at 33rd and Spruce Streets.

The shuttle bus from 49th Street will board on Chester Avenue, and shuttle buses from 30th Street will board at Amtrak Station at the 30th Street side drive. Please note that no fare will be collected on the shuttle for travel between 49th Street and 30th Street.
