*Editor's Note: (Sept. 22) Due to inclement weather, the cleaning blitz at 46th Street Station on the Market-Frankford Line from Sept. 22 through Sept. 24 has been canceled, according to SEPTA officials.

Officials announced they will shut down select SEPTA stations over the next few weeks to continue deep cleanings.

After several successful station cleanings and maintenance blitzes over the last few weeks, the transit agency will be continuing its initiative through Oct.

Crews will focus on heavy cleaning, maintenance, painting and any other repairs that need to be done.

The cleaning blitz was supposed to continue this weekend at 46th Street Station on the Market-Frankford Line from Sept. 22 through Sept. 24 but has been canceled due to inclement weather, normal operating hours will be in effect, according to SEPTA officials.

SEPTA has not released when they will reschedule the next cleaning for 46th Street Station.

The cleaning is scheduled to pick back up on Oct. 6 through Oct. 8 at 13th Street Station and then Oct. 20 through Oct. 22 at 34th Street Station, both along the Market-Frankford line.

With each cleaning, the stations will close at 8 p.m. Friday and reopen Monday at 5 a.m., according to SEPTA.

SEPTA had initiated these station blitzes on the Market-Frankford and Broad Street lines over the last several months.

Cleaning crews have been dispatched to Snyder and Hunting Park on the BSL and Allegheny, Tioga, 11th Street, and Somerset on the Market-Frankford Line since May.
