Active Alerts

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.

WARNING! Uhlerstown-Frenchtown Bridge WALKWAY CLOSED

Pedestrians and cyclists cannot cross the bridge until further notice.

The following travel restrictions are scheduled for upcoming construction activities at the I-78 Toll Bridge's Express E-ZPass open-road-tolling facility near Easton, PA.:

• 7 p.m. Thursday, March 20, to 5 a.m. Friday, March 21 – both I-78 westbound Express E-ZPass lanes will be shut down for concrete saw-cutting work in one lane;
• 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, March 21 – the Express E-ZPass lane that does not get sawcut will reopen temporarily to handle daytime I-78 westbound traffic;
• 9 p.m. Friday, March 21, to 5 a.m. Monday, March 24 – both I-78 westbound Express E-ZPass lanes will be closed for pouring, finishing, and curing of new concrete slabs.

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.

Since the Commission no longer handles cash toll transactions, backups, and delays – if any – are expected to be minor.

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

The Uhlerstown-Frenchtown Toll-Supported Bridge is closed to westbound traffic heading from New Jersey to Pennsylvania.

A PA-bound traffic detour is in effect via the Upper Black Eddy-Milford Toll-Supported Bridge 3.3 miles to the north. This detour is expected to remain in place through November.

The Uhlerstown-Frenchtown Bridge remains open to New Jersey-bound (eastbound) vehicles. The bridge walkway also is closed until further notice.

Until further notice, alternating single-lane travel restrictions are in effect at the New Hope-Lambertville Toll-Supported Bridge 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays.

Motorists are urged to reduce speeds and stop for flaggers posted on the bridge deck.

Traffic backups and delays are possible.

The travel restriction is temporary, allowing work crews to remove the construction platform beneath the bridge's road deck and other tasks related to the soon-to-be-completed rehabilition project at the bridge.
