Over the weekend of August 23–27, 1968, tracks at the station were reconfigured as part of the construction of the Lindenwold High-Speed Line (PATCO Speedline). Ridge Spur trains were redirected to a new single-track upper level terminus platform, separating the spur from the 8th–Locust Street subway. Bridge Line service was temporarily divided into 16th and Locust–8th Street and 8th Street–Camden segments, with a cross-platform transfer at 8th Street. Bridge Line service was suspended from December 29, 1968, to February 15, 1969, when the new service began.
