The Uhlerstown-Frenchtown Toll-Supported Bridge is scheduled to be shut down to all vehicular traffic (two-way closure; walkway open) during off-peak daytime hours 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily from Monday, Oct. 20, to Friday, Oct. 24.
Affected motorists are advised to use the Upper Black Eddy-Milford Toll-Supported Bridge 3.3 miles upstream. The Commission urges motorists to plan ahead by allowing additional time to reach their destinations when the Uhlerstown-Frenchtown crossing is closed to traffic.
The daytime traffic shutdowns at Uhlerstown-Frenchtown will enable a Commission contractor to install new guide rails at each end of the bridge, replace expansion joints, apply a new overlay surface to the concrete transitions at each bridge entrance, and mill and repave the bridge’s asphalt roadway approaches. These remaining tasks are being executed during daytime hours because they are too noise-intensive to be conducted during overnight periods.
Next scheduled bridge travel restriction is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 25 when flagger-controlled alternating single-lane travel is expected to be ineffect from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (times approximate).
