Active Alerts

A second weekend of lane closures are scheduled forthe I-78 Toll Bridge’s two-lane Express E-ZPass toll-collection facility. The travel restrictions are as follows:

• 7 p.m. Thursday, March 27, to 5 a.m. Friday, March 28 – both I-78 westbound Express E-ZPass lanes will be shut down for concrete saw-cutting work in the lane that did not undergo replacement work last weekend;
• 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, March 28 – the Express E-ZPass lane that underwent replacement last weekend will reopen temporarily to handle daytime I-78 westbound traffic;
• 9 p.m. Friday, March 28, to 5 a.m. Monday, March 31 – both I-78 westbound Express E-ZPass lanes will be closed for pouring, finishing, and curing of new concrete slabs in the lane that was not replaced last weekend.

The lane closures will allow a Commission contractor to complete replacement of the concrete-slab pavements at the Commission’s 15-year-old Express E-ZPass facility. The highway-speed electronic open-road-tolling point is in Williams Township, PA. and handles I-78 westbound traffic that crosses the toll bridge from New Jersey into Pennsylvania.

I-78 westbound motorists are urged to keep right and reduce speeds to pass through former cash-collection lanes at the tolling point when the Express E-ZPass lanes are closed.

The travel restrictions are subject to change due to weather, emergencies, and other factors.

A utility project will prevent New Jersey-bound motorists from crossing the Northampton Street Toll-Supported Bridge (a.k.a. the Easton-Phillipsburg "free bridge") during over night hours -- 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. -- starting Monday, March 24, and continuing on weeknights for up to one week.

The travel restriction is needed so an Elizabethtown Gas contractor -- Skoda Construction -- can replace aging gas mains and connections on the Phillipsburg side of the bridge. (NOTE: THIS IS NOT A COMMISSION PROJECT)

Affected NJ-bound motorists are advised to cross into Phillipsburg via the non-toll eastbound direction on the nearby Easton-Phillipsburg (Route 22) Toll Bridge.

PA traffic is expected to be able to continue crossing the Northampton Street Bridge while utility work takes place.
