Route 1 South Traffic Backups, Travel Delays Expected

MORRISVILLE, PA —Traffic backups and travel delays are possible on Route 1 southbound approaching the last New Jersey exit in Trenton on Tuesday.

The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission announced that the Route 1 south roadway segment is scheduled to be restricted to a single travel lane (one of two lanes closed) between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.

The roadway segment is owned and maintained by the Commission as part of its Trenton-Morrisville (Route 1) Toll Bridge jurisdiction.

The lane restriction will enable a commission contractor to repair a section of the roadway surface that was damaged in a recent motor vehicle accident.

Ramps to enter and exit the highway at Warren Street (the last N.J. exit) will remain open but will have limited lane width during a portion of the repairs.

Motorists planning to use Route 1 South, Trenton-Morrisville Toll Bridge Pennsylvania-bound, and the last New Jersey exit from Route 1 South on Tuesday are advised to allow more time to reach their destinations.

Drivers are advised to reduce speeds and exercise caution when traveling through active work areas.

The scheduled road work and lane restrictions are subject to change due to weather, emergencies, and other factors.
