SEPTA, Media/Elwyn Regional Rail Line – Crum Creek Viaduct Replacement

Project Overview

The original viaduct, built in 1895 and repaired in 1983, was at the end of its useful life. Work replaced the 925-foot-high bridge ensuring rail service will remain safe and reliable well into the future. The Media/Elwyn Regional Rail Line, locally known as “The Trestle” carries more than 320 passenger trains a week. The final structure features a closed deck with continuous welded rails over stone ballast. This produced a smoother ride for passengers.

This role was provided by a full-time project controls engineer staffed at the field site.
