Lane Restrictions At Route 202 Toll Bridge

• The New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202) Toll Bridge is restricted to single travel lanes in each direction with a 10-foot width restriction in the southbound (Pennsylvania-bound) direction and an 11-foot width restriction in the northbound (New Jersey-bound) direction. The travel restrictions will remain in effect until further notice. A contractor is in the process of removing the former cash-collection toll plaza and replacing it with an open-road cashless all-electronic tolling gantry. The project also includes 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.

Traffic Reduced To Single Lane At Washington Crossing Bridge

• The Washington Crossing Toll-Supported Bridge is scheduled to be reduced to a single lane with alternating traffic controlled by flaggers from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 11. The travel restriction will allow a contractor to perform work related to the recent erection of a sign gantry oversized vehicle “headache bar” at the bridge’s Pennsylvania approach. Motorists are urged to reduce speeds, exercise caution and follow flagger instructions. The scheduled travel restriction is subject to change due to weather, emergencies, and other factors.
