If you’re driving across the Ben Franklin Bridge, you’ll now see PATCO trains running on both sides.
Construction on the north side of the track started in the beginning of Aug. and was completed on time, according to PATCO.
Commuters can go back to their normal Monday through Friday schedules at least until December 4 when service will be reduced again to one track.
As of now a single-track schedule is still in effect for Saturdays and Sundays.
The construction is part of the two-year replacement project to update the system’s infrastructure that will cost a total of $103-million expected to be completed in early 2016.
Drivers on the bridge are also dealing with construction projects.
Friday, Oct. 25 at 8 p.m. lanes one and two of the westbound side of the bridge will be shut down for repaving and will reopen Sunday, Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. in time for the Monday morning commute.

This repaving work is the fourth and final phase of the pavement repair project according to the Delaware River Port Authority.
They say people who live near the bridge can expect a lot of noise but it’s important that the work be completed before winter weather begins.
