New security cameras will be installed along the PATCO rail line and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge starting in April, Delaware River Port Authority officials said yesterday.

The $4 million network of cameras with "intelligent" software is designed to detect intruders or unusual activity in stations, parking lots, platforms and along the rail line, the DRPA said.

Installation of the new cameras, part of a broader effort to improve security at PATCO and the four DRPA bridges, is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.
