L.K. Comstock National Transit LLC and Vanalt Electrical Construction Awarded Reverse Signaling Project by SEPTA
New York, NY (July 9, 2025) –L.K. Comstock National Transit LLC (LKCNT), along with joint venture partner, Vanalt Electrical Construction and key team member Wabtec Corporation, were awarded the Broad Street Subway City Hall Reverse Signaling Project by SEPTA at their board meeting. This critical infrastructure project, which will span three years, delivers essential signal system upgrades and new train control rooms to enable reverse train operations on tracks 2 and 3 for SEPTA.
The work will support the upcoming City Hall Station Reconstruction Project by allowing for strategic track closures necessary for construction, while maintaining transit operations. The project stretches through the underground tunnel system from just south of the Walnut–Locust Station to just north of Girard Station, presenting a complex work environment with limited track access and numerous system cutovers.
"This project is vital to ensuring SEPTA can maintain safe and reliable service during the future reconstruction of City Hall Station," said Ed Kitzman LKCNT President. "It involves major signal revisions and control system upgrades that will enable more operational flexibility."
With decades of transit infrastructure experience, the LKCNT–Vanalt JV brings deep expertise in systems integration, tunnel work, and transit signal modernization.
