SEPTA Delaware trains restored after Amtrak hits person in Pennsylvania

SEPTA's Wilmington/Newark Regional Rail line is restored after an Amtrak train struck a person in Pennsylvania earlier in the afternoon. A SEPTA spokesperson said an Amtrak train struck a person around Glenolden, Pennsylvania, in Delaware County around 1:30 p.m. Nov. 4. Since then, SEPTA service on the Wilmington/Newark Line was suspended while Amtrak investigated the incident, but service is restored. Amtrak trains are operating on a heavy delay, according to their schedules between Wilmington and Philadelphia as of 3 p.m. The only direct alternate route to Delaware that is not a train to or from Philadelphia is the 113 bus from Claymont Transit Center. (This story is updated to reflect that SEPTA service is restored). This article originally appeared on Delaware News Journal: SEPTA Delaware trains restored after Amtrak hits person in Pennsylvania

I-80 eastbound on-ramp at Bellefonte to stay closed into late November

Bellefonte, Pa. — The Interstate 80 eastbound on-ramp at Exit 161 in Bellefonte, closed since Oct. 12, will stay closed until the third week of November, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said. PennDOT had expected the contractor on the I-80/I-99 High-Speed Interchange project to reopen the ramp by the end of October, but the reopening was delayed because of unforeseen circumstances, according to the department. While the ramp remains closed, traffic on Interstate 99 heading to I-80 eastbound will take Jacksonville Road to the westbound on-ramp at Exit 161 and follow the detour back to I-80 eastbound at Milesburg. The closure was put in place to prepare for directing traffic onto the newly completed bridge over Jacksonville Road, PennDOT said. The High-Speed Interchange will provide a direct connection between the two interstates, so drivers will no longer have to travel along Route 26 to reach them. Work includes building the interchange, 10 bridges, four retaining walls, five box culverts, seven sign structures and three changeable message boards, along with new and rebuilt roadways and ramps, drainage, lighting and stream improvements. Trumbull Corp. of Pittsburgh is the contractor on the $259 million project, which is expected to continue through the next

What do Shapiro and Garrity think of higher gas prices?

(The Center Square) – Gov. Josh Shapiro and State Treasurer Stacy Garrity agree: gasoline prices are too high in Pennsylvania. However, they cite different factors contributing to current prices and offer different solutions. “Let's be very clear: gas is at almost $4.50 a gallon because of a war in Iran that we had no business getting into, Trump's got no earthly idea how to get out of, and my opponent has supported it every step of the way,” Shapiro said in response to a question from The Center Square on Sunday. “Notwithstanding that it's left 21 American families with an empty seat at the dinner table, notwithstanding the fact that, the average Pennsylvania family is paying about 1,000 bucks more just in energy costs because of this war.” In continuing his case, Shapiro said the Trump administration has to end the war in Iran, which would open the Strait of Hormuz. “That will bring down gas prices,” he said. Garrity said it is “ridiculous” that neighboring states like Ohio, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York have cheaper gas, while describing Pennsylvania as the “Saudi Arabia” of natural gas. If elected governor, Garrity said she would pause the gas tax until
