Active Alerts

Traffic stoppages of up to 15-minutes long in duration are possible in both directions at the New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202) Toll Bridge 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 12, to 5 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 13.

The travel restriction is needed so a Commission contractor can hoist and install a pre-cast concrete tower along the bridge's Pennsylvania approach.

The overnight work is part of a project that is converting the bridge’s former southbound cash-collection toll plaza to highway-speed open-road tolling involving E-ZPass and TOLL BY PLATE billing.

Motorists are urged to allow additional time to reach their destinations, exercise caution, and be prepared to stop if they plan to use the bridge late Wednesday into early Thursday.

The scheduled traffic stoppages are subject to change due to weather, emergencies, or other factors.

Motorists might encounter periodic flagger-controlled alternating single-lane travel at the Uhlerstown-Frenchtown Toll-Supported Bridge on the weekends of Nov. 8-9, 15-16, and 22-23.

In an attempt to complete remaining rehabilitation tasks at the bridge, the project contractator is expected to expand its working hours to 7 a.m. to 5 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

Occasional traffic stoppages and lane shifts may be needed.

Motorists are urged to exercise caution and be prepared to stop.

Travel delays, if any, should be brief in duration.

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.
