The single-lane travel restriction is expected to be in effect 6 p.m. to 5 a.m. (next day) Monday through Friday, allowing for highway milling and paving work.

Travel delays are possible, although traffic volumes are lightest during overnight hours.

Motorists are urged to reduce speeds and exercise caution when traveling through active work areas.

The schedule is subject to change due to weather, emergencies and other considerations.

A series of lane closures are scheduled for the Trenton-Morrisville (Route 1) Toll Bridge during off-peak daytime hours during the week of July 28.

The travel restriction will be in place as follows:

• 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday, July 29, to Friday, Aug. 2 -- up to two lanes closed (one  or two of three lanes may be open) from milepost 80.4 in Morrisville, PA. to milepost 0.6 in Trenton, N.J.
• 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3 -- up two lanes closed (one or two lanes may be open) from milepost 80.4 in Morrisville, PA. to milepost 0.6 in Trenton, N.J.

The upcoming lane closures are for the Trenton-Morrisville Toll bridge Paving & Deck-Sealing Improvement Project and will allow for repairs to concrete roadway barriers at the bridge and its approaches.

Expect travel delays approaching the toll bridge from Pennsylvania.

Motorists are urged to reduce speeds and exercise caution when traveling through active work areas.

The schedule is subject to change due to weather, emergencies and other considerations.

Saturday's single-lane travel restriction at the Trenton-Morrisville (Route 1) Toll Bridge has been cancelled.

The bridge will be fully open in both directions.

The New Hope-Lambertville Toll-Supported Bridge is now closed to New Jersey-bound traffic at the intersections of Main and E. Bridge streets in New Hope, PA.

The bridge remains open to Pennsylvania-bound vehicles with a traffic shift starting on the Lambertville side.  The bridge's walkway also remains in service at this time.

(See drawing of bridge travel pattern below.)

Detour:

The bridge's uninterrupted New Jersey-bound traffic detour is expected to remain in place for eight months, ending in late September.  The detour has two starting points: at the intersection of East Bridge and Main streets in New Hope and at the intersection of West Bridge Street and Route 202 to the west of New Hope’s commercial center.

Detour signage directs affected motorists to the nearby New Hope-Lambertville Toll Bridge and Route 202 northbound, which is toll-free for travel into New Jersey.  Take the first New Jersey exit and proceed onto Route 29 southbound.  The detour ends at the intersection of Main Street/Route 29 and Bridge Street/Route 179 in Lambertville.

This travel pattern will allow work crews to execute the first stage of construction on a 10-month-long rehabilition of the 120-year-old bridge.
