The tunnel, which has been closed since mid-November due to overhead wire problems, is now expected to re-open in mid-January. The exact date has not been announced yet as it depends on the completion of testing, according to SEPTA.<\/p>\n<p>Several test trolleys were operating in the tunnel near the 40th Street Trolley Portal and heading west on Woodland Ave (see photo).<\/p>\n<p>While the tunnel remains closed, trolleys will be diverted to 40th and Market, where passengers can board the L train or a T Shuttle Bus running along Market Street between 40th and 15th.<\/p>\n<p>For more updates, visit septa.org.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gofollow\" data-track=\"MTEyLDYsMSw2MA==\" href=\"https:\/\/back.office.heathergardnerstudio.com\/dmn4981\/classes.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/MT-West-Philly-Local-Ad-550-x-150-px.png\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SEPTA completes Trolley Tunnel repairs, prepares for tunnel re-opening in mid-January January 4, 2026 A test trolley exiting&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":493252,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,1448,2830,1311,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-493251","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-pa","10":"tag-pennsylvania","11":"tag-philadelphia","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-united-states-of-america","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115840486388247814","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493251"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493251\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/493252"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
