To support an important major rehabilitation and structural repair project on the [M] Norristown High Speed Line’s Bridgeport Viaduct, shuttle buses will replace train service from Bridgeport Station to Norristown Transit Center. The first phase of this project takes place from Sunday, March 29 until Saturday, May 9, with other major outages planned throughout 2026 and 2027.
