102565 | Track Improvement Program (SEPTA)

This program will provide for improvements to SEPTA’s track and right-of-way. SEPTA operates rail service over 605 route miles of track (including track owned by SEPTA, Amtrak, the City of Philadelphia, and CSX). Projects will return rail infrastructure to a state of good repair and help preserve rail transit service for current and future customers. This program includes projects on both the Transit and Regional Rail systems that will renew street track and special work, replace continuous welded rail (CWR), and renew ties and timbers. This program also focuses on the stabilization of soil and rock slopes, stormwater and erosion control, track drainage, and the repair and prevention of sinkholes in the right-of-way. Additional track and right-of-way improvements will be undertaken as part of the Infrastructure Safety Renewal Program (ISRP).
