Join us to learn more about the Delaware River Port Authority’s (DRPA) Franklin Square Station project which came about because of increased development surrounding Philadelphia's Franklin Square area. Since its grand opening in 1936, the station, located near Seventh and Race Streets, has sporadically closed and reopened with the last period of passenger service between 1976 and 1979.
The rehabilitated station will be fully functional, in-line with the existing Port Authority Transit Corporation (PATCO) stations, and part of the PATCO Highspeed Line operating between Philadelphia and Lindenwold, NJ.
The project addresses improvements to the station’s civil, structural, mechanical and electrical systems and provide access in compliance with the current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
