I think that SEPTA should of had a whole Summer Shutdown in order to get this work done. At the rate of this, it going to take 3 or more years of the 9+ years we had to ride the el shuttle, and look at the poor 31 bus, its been on detour for 9+ years as well

According to the schedules, there will be one more major shutdown next year, and they're dubbing that "Cobbs Creek Final." Over top of the little weekend shutdowns, its almost over with the big construction.

Another note: if my sources are correct when this one is over, 46th and 52nd sts will have new platforms and "FS" interlocking will be rebuilt.

About 1/3 of the New 52nd Street Platfform + Structure is completed. There is also a temporary platform added on to the new end.

I hope ridership on the 31 will go up once this reconstruction in mainland West Philadelphia is complete.

The el shuttle is ok, but it was better when Southern had Neoplan running on it. Then SEPTA made them stiop, cause since Septa was already making thrm ride the el shuttle. and basiclly shouldnt have to go through all of that.
