The $122 million maintenance project is to improve 1950s-era rail infrastructure between Harrisburg and Lancaster.
The project, which began on March 19, 2024, was originally estimated to take two years. It is currently expected to finish in November 2024.
“We’re taking a fresh approach and expediting this important project with a combination of single and full track outages that will improve work efficiencies and reduce the duration of customer impacts,” said executive vice president of capital delivery Laura Mason.
