ARDMORE, PA — Improvement work on SEPTA's station in Ardmore is underway and will last for about a year and a half, according to officials.

Work began Monday, and it is forcing the closure of the station's entrance at Station Avenue for 18 months.

While work is underway, passengers will board and exit the train using the new low-level platforms west of Anderson Avenue, using the Ardmore West Parking Lot side for trains inbound toward Philadelphia and the Suburban Square Parking Lot side for trains outbound toward Paoli-Thorndale. A temporary SEPTA ticket booth will be set up in mid-January at the new access area.

Signage will be posted through the area to help SEPTA riders navigate the station as work is underway.
