A 'trespasser' on the PATCO rails has caused lanes to close and trains to cease to run along the Ben Franklin Bridge on Saturday afternoon.
Traffic on the westbound lanes was closed on -- and the PATCO trains ceased running across -- the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia on Saturday as a person reportedly climbed onto tracks used by the PATCO trains, officials said.
At about 6:35 p.m., traffic was blocked both ways on the bridge as, a PATCO spokesperson said, a"trespasser" climbed onto the track on the bridge. PATCO reportedly deenergized the tracks for safety of first responders as they worked to address the situation. Just before 7 p.m., officials said, the police activity had ended, lanes were re-opened and the trains resumed operation.
