Active Alerts

The NJ Route 29 exit ramp for Route 1 South and the Trenton-Morrisville Toll Bridge PA-bound is scheduled to continue next week -- Monday to Friday, Nov. 18-22.

The lane closures are needed so a Commission contractor can repair the elevated ramp's concrete driving surface.

The ramp closures begin at 6 a.m. and end 3 p.m. They are expect to continue on weekdays until Thanksgiving.

Motorists are advised to follow detour signage to access Route 1 south and the toll bridge for travel into Pennsylvania.

The ramp closures are subject to change due to weather, emergencies and other factors.

The New Hope-Lambertville Toll-Supported (“free”) Bridge will be closed to ALL vehicular traffic 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. (next day) on the nights of Monday, Nov. 18, through Thursday, Nov. 21.

The closest alternate river crossing is the New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202) Toll Bridge, one mile north and tolled in the PA-bound direction.

Non-toll options are the Centre Bridge-Stockton Bridge, 3.3 miles north; or the Washington Crossing Bridge (narrow), 6.9 miles south.

Pedestrians will be able to cross the bridge, but might experience periodic flagger stoppages.

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

The New Hope-Lambertville Toll-Supported Bridge shall remain closed to New Jersey-bound traffic at the intersections of Main and E. Bridge streets in New Hope, PA. through September into the fall.

The bridge remains open to Pennsylvania-bound vehicles. A temporary walkway also remains in service at this time across the bridge.

(See drawing of bridge travel pattern below.)

Detour:

The bridge's uninterrupted New Jersey-bound traffic detour is expected to remain in place into the fall.

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.  (A copy of the detour map is pasted at the bottom of this post.)

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.
