11th St. Interlocking

Parking Lot Access Road Improvements
A three-month project to upgrade access roads at six PATCO stations is to start on Monday September 14, 2009.
Improvements to the surface conditions and water run-off characteristics of the approach roads that provide access to the parking lots at six PATCO Stations: Lindenwold, Ashland, Haddonfield, Westmont, Collingswood and Ferry Avenue Stations.
Workers will repave the roadway and repair curbs outside the Lindenwold station, then will head west for similar improvements at the Ashland, Haddonfield, Westmont, Collingswood and Ferry Avenue stations. Rumble strips will be installed near the stations to improve pedestrian safety.
The Lindenwold project will include a new dedicated right-turn lane from northbound White Horse Road. Part of the curb and sidewalk will be reconfigured to improve traffic flow at the Ferry Avenue stop in Camden, according to the Delaware River Port Authority.
Transit Car Overhaul Program
A complete overhaul of the existing train cars to replace outdated systems with new technology while maintaining the major structural framing and external shells.

Power Cable and Pole Line Replacement
Replacing wooden poles with new, more durable fiberglass poles, as well as replacing the 26.4KV and 2.4 KV power cables along the PATCO line between Lindenwold and Camden, New Jersey. In addition, fiber optic and other communications and signaling cables will be replaced as required to complete work in a manner minimally disruptive to the operation of the PATCO High Speed Line.
9th/10th & Locust Accessibility Upgrades
Installation of two new hydraulic elevators at PATCO's 9th & 10th streets and miscellaneous associated construction, including equipment rooms, stairway alterations and associated mechanical and electrical work.
