    • Construction Projects along the 100-

      The route 100 Norristown High Speed Line will be single tracking starting next Monday between Bridgeport and King Manor Stations (trains will serve the outbound platform), due to construction at Bridgeport Station.  This will be for all trains for the next month (from October 16th to November 15th), and weekday service will accommodate this service change.  Also to note, there are two other construction projects in process along this line.  Gulph Mills is becoming a wheelchair accessible station, and a new parking garage is being constructed at Norristown Transportation Center.
