SCUDDER FALLS – The Scudder Falls (I-295) Toll Bridge’s Shared-Use Path is scheduled to be shut down from 7 a.m. Tuesday, June 23, to 4 p.m. Thursday, June 25, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission announced today.
The uninterrupted 57-hour-long closure period will enable a Commission contractor to substantially complete an extensive resurfacing of the bridge’s walkway. The remaining work involves portions of two observation areas as well as incomplete sections near several drainage inlets. Punch list work also will be conducted during the around-the-clock closure period, including application of a bonding resin and grit to some resurfaced areas.
The bridge’s walkway has undergone resurfacing since mid-March. The work has involved removal of the facility’s former uneven, puddle-prone polyester polymer concrete (PPC) surface layer followed by the application of a more-uniform replacement layer.
Work progressed to near completion on June 11. The walkway facility has been open since that date. Next week’s work is expected to close out the short-duration project.
