The Scudder Falls (I-295) Toll Bridge's Shared-Use Path (pedestrian-bicycle facility) is scheduled to be closed from 6 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14, to approximately 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 17.

The closure will enable a Commission contractor to resurface the facility's access ramp on the bridge's Pennsylvania side.

Alternative river crossing points for bicyclists and pedestrians during the temporary closure period are:

• Calhoun Street Toll-Supported Bridge - 4.8 miles to the south;
• Washington Crossing Toll-Supported Bridge - 2.5 miles to the north.

  (Note: The walkways at these alternate river crossing points are significantly narrower than the 10-foot-wide Scudder Falls Shared-Use Path; bicyclists must dismount and walk their bikes across the walkways at these other two bridges.)

The New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202) Toll Bridge is restricted to single travel lanes in each directions with a 10-foot width restriction in the southbound (Pennsylvania-bound) direction and an 11-foot width restrictions in the northbound (New Jersey-bound) direction.

The travel restrictions will remain in effect until further notice.

A Commission contractor is in the process of removing the former cash-collection toll plaza at the bridge. The Contractor will then erect an open-road cashless all-electronic tolling gantry in approximately the same location. The project also will involve repairs and improvements to the bridge’s Pennsylvania abutment.

Route 202 motorists approaching the bridge are urged to reduce speeds, prepare for lane shifts, observe size restrictions, and exercise caution.

The Uhlerstown-Frenchtown Toll-Supported Bridge is closed to westbound traffic heading from New Jersey to Pennsylvania.

A PA-bound traffic detour is in effect via the Upper Black Eddy-Milford Toll-Supported Bridge 3.3 miles to the north. This detour is expected to remain in place through November.

The Uhlerstown-Frenchtown Bridge remains open to New Jersey-bound (eastbound) vehicles. The bridge walkway also is closed until further notice.
