PHILADELPHIA - SEPTA will be reopening the Market-Frankford Line's Somerset Station in Kensington Monday after a two-week closure to address safety, security, and infrastructure issues.Officials say the closure was necessary to conduct emergency maintenance and repair work that was needed to "mitigate damage from urination, human waste, discarded needles and other debris."Repair work was focused on reinforcing key structures like stairs and passenger crossovers, and new enhanced lighting was installed.
New signage and paint were also added to the station after a deep cleaning.SEPTA says work to restore the elevators will likely continue beyond Monday's reopening."SEPTA looks forward to welcoming customers back to the Somerset Station," said.
