Run-away barge causes shut down of Vine St. Expressway, limits SEPTA's Regional Rail service - WPVI-TV

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- An unsecured barge on the Schuylkill River is causing some travel delays in and around Philadelphia.

The barge broke loose around 5 p.m. Tuesday in the flooding caused by Tropical Storm Isaias.

Officials closed I-676 from the Vine Street Expressway to 22nd Street Tuesday night due to the barge, which is currently located near the Vine Street Expressway Bridge.

Westbound traffic on the Vine Street Expressway will be exited off the highway at Broad Street until further notice.

The Vine Street Expressway Bridge, where the barge is resting, is just upstream from a SEPTA rail bridge at 30th Street.

SEPTA canceled Regional Rail service Tuesday night out of "an abundance of caution." Slowly, on Wednesday morning, a few train lines resumed service as several more remained shut down.


SEPTA issued the following alerts Wednesday morning:

REGIONAL RAIL:
Airport, Chestnut Hill East, Chestnut Hill West, Cynwyd, Fox Chase, Glenside Combined, Lansdale/Doylestown, Media/Elwyn, Manayunk/Norristown, Paoli/Thorndale, Trenton, Warminster, Wilmington/Newark, West Trenton: All service is suspended until further notice due to the barge stuck under the bridge at 20th Street.

Around 8 a.m. Wednesday, SEPTA announced service was restored to the West Trenton, Doylestown and Thorndale lines.



SEPTA says they will provide updates as they are available.

Bridge inspectors were on the scene, but it's unclear if there is any damage to the Vine Street Expressway Bridge.
