The travel restriction is needed so a Commission contractor can install steel panels beneath the bridge’s roadway deck.

Resurfacing work along the Pennsylvania access ramp to the Scudder Falls Toll Bridge's Shared Use Path was recently completed and the bridge's pedestrian-bicycle facility is fully reopened.

Until then, enjoy the fall and winter river views.

WARNING!

Extended-duration traffic stoppages are possible at the New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202) Toll Bridge during overnight hours Friday, Nov. 21 into early-morning hours Saturday, Nov. 21

A Commission contractor needs to hoist and install an overhead all-electronic-tolling monotube across the highway on the bridge's Pennsylvania side.

Traffic in each direction could be paused for more than 15 minutes (maximum 30-minute duration) as a large crane lifts the steel tube into place atop two pre-cast concrete towers installed earlier this week.

The Commission urges motorists to plan ahead by using alternate routes across the river if the anticipated work detail takes place as currently scheduled.

The Commission will provide more information as it becomes available during the week of Nov. 16.

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.

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 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.
