NJDOT has scheduled overnight maintenance work with flagger-controlled alternating single-lane traffic at the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park bridge in Hopewell Township, N.J. from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 2 and Tuesday, Nov. 3. The canal bridge is located on the N.J. approach to the larger DRJTBC Washington Crossing Toll-Supported Bridge that connects Hopewell Township, N.J. and Upper Makefield Township, PA. over the Delaware River.

Motorists navigating the Washington Crossing Toll-Supported Bridge overnight while maintenance work is ongoing may encounter brief slowdowns and stoppages.

Lane closures and alternating traffic patterns are scheduled at the Milford-Montague (Route 209 & Route 206) Toll Bridge from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Oct. 27-29 for street sweeping and stormwater inlet cleaning. Flaggers will be onsite to control the flow of traffic as needed.

Drivers should use caution when approaching the bridge from either direction and be prepared to slow down.

This schedule is subject to change due to weather, emergencies or other factors. If work is delayed, Oct. 30 will be used as a backup date.

Pedestrians, bicyclists, and other trail users may encounter temporary delays along the Scudder Falls Shared-Use Path and Delaware Canal Towpath near the 1799 House in Lower Makefield, PA. between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 28 and Thursday, Oct. 29. A Commission contractor is scheduled to complete maintenance activities that will require trail users to stop briefly while work is ongoing. Signs will be in place onsite to alert trail users.

The following width restrictions are in effect along both directions of U.S. Route 202 in the vicinity of the New Hope-Lambertville Toll Bridge between Solebury Twp., PA. and Delaware Twp. N.J.:

• Pennsylvania-bound (southbound) -- 10-foot vehicle width limit.
• New Jersey-bound (northbound) -- 11-foot vehicle width limit.

The width restrictions are expected to remain in place through 2026 and into the first quarter of 2027.  They are allowing a Commission contractor to reconstruct the downstream backwall portion of the bridge's Pennsylvania abutment and realign and landscape the former northbound approach roadway on the bridge's Pennsylvania side.

Route 202 motorists approaching the bridge are urged to reduce speeds, exercise caution, and abide by posted temporary width and speed restrictions.
