Active Alerts

The previously announced closure of the NJ Route 29 northbound bypass of the I-295/Route 29 interchange (Exit 76) on the New Jersey side of the Scudder Falls Toll Bridge has been rescheduled to start TUESDAY, January 21.

During the roadway closure, affected traffic will be diverted through portions of the interchange’s new system of ramps and roundabouts for reconnection with Route 29 NB for travel toward Washington Crossing and Lambertville.  (CLICK HERE TO VIEW DETOUR MAP)

The Route 29 NB travel restriction is currently scheduled to last one week, but will be extended an additional three weeks – until the week of February 16 – if traffic impacts do not exceed projections.  Under the closure and diversion plan, motorists should expect to encounter delays and backups only during weekday evening-peak travel periods – 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Did you know the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission's 40-percent E-ZPass commuter discount program extends to the new Scudder Falls (I-295) Toll Bridge?  Did you know that the frequency-based discount can effectively reduce the bridge's base Class 1 vehicle E-ZPass toll from $1.25 to 75 cents?

To be eligible, a motorist needs an E-ZPass transponder/account issued/administered by the Commission's toll processor -- the regional New Jersey E-ZPass Customer Service Center.

The discount can then be applied as a retroactive credit on a future E-ZPass statement after 16 or more tolled trips are made across the bridge or any other Commission toll bridge during a respective calendar month.

The discount is tag specific, meaning the customer's transponder must be in the vehicle and in working order when a toll transaction is recorded.  Class 1 passenger vehicles only -- cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and other vehicles that have two axles and are less than eight-feet high.

To apply online for an E-ZPass account with the Commission's toll processor, please go to www.ezpassnj.com.  Or  dial 1-888-AUTO-TOLL (1-888-288-6865) during business hours Monday through Friday.
