SCUDDER FALLS – The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission today announced that the resurfacing of the Scudder Falls (I-295) Toll Bridge’s 0.86-mile-long Shared-Use Path is nearly completed, and the facility will be open all next week.
But work on the bridge’s elevated walkway is expected to resume the following week when a series of weekday closures would be utilized to complete sections needing resurfacing or other corrective attention. An announcement on the specific walkway closure dates will be made sometime next week.
The walkway facility has been undergoing resurfacing since mid-March. Weekday closures have enabled a Commission contractor to remove the facility’s former uneven, puddle-prone polyester polymer concrete (PPC) surface layer and then apply a more-uniform replacement layer.
Initially work took place on a Monday-to-Thursday schedule. Work was expanded to a Monday-Friday closure schedule in early May.
Work progressed to near-completion yesterday afternoon (Thursday, June 11), at which time the walkway was reopened for the public’s use on a temporary daily basis that will continue through next week.
