Crews will work around the clock to repair tracks and wires, clean stations and build a new platform at the 22nd Street Station.
Commuters will be able to get around the closure by transferring to the Market Frankford Line at 40th Street.
The Trolley Tunnel Blitz starts in just a couple days on the 7th. Make sure you have the details. → https://t.co/m7UqatNbDp pic.twitter.com/Tmc3TY3kno
