EWING, NJ – The NJ Route 29 SB connector ramp between the two roundabouts at the I-295 Route 29 interchange (Exit 76) is scheduled to be closed tomorrow night, May 20, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission announced today.
The closure is needed so workers can adjust overhang brackets on a section of the second Scudder Falls (I-295) Toll Bridge span now under construction across the river.
