Washington Crossing Toll-Supported Bridge Near-Term Improvements
The Washington Crossing Toll-Supported Bridge is in need of near-term repairs and improvements. In response, the Commission has launched a $3.4 project to make a series of immediate repairs/improvements to the bridge and its approaches.

Upper Black Eddy-Milford Toll-Supported Bridge Rehabilitation
The Upper Black Eddy-Milford Toll-Supported Bridge is the newest of the six Warren truss bridges that the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission owns and operates between the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Trenton-Morrisville Toll Bridge Rehabilitation
The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission is undertaking a major rehabilitation of the Trenton-Morrisville Toll Bridge and its respective approach structures and roadways. The bridge carries Route 1 over the Delaware River between Trenton, New Jersey and Morrisville, Pennsylvania. The 12-span main river bridge is 1,325 feet long. The planned improvements begin just south of the viaduct over the Delaware Canal and Conrail in Morrisville and end just north of the South Broad Street Overpass in Trenton.

Riverton-Belvidere Bridge Rehabilitation
In August 2007, the Commission celebrated the rededication of the Riverton-Belvidere Toll Supported Bridge, marking the successful completion of the 103-year-old span's $8.8 million rehabilitation. The Riverton-Belvidere Toll Supported Bridge was the seventh bridge to be rehabilitated under the agency's comprehensive capital improvement program which has a four-pronged focus on system preservation, management, security and enhancement.

Centre Bridge-Stockton Bridge Rehabilitation
In July 2007, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission completed the $9.4 million rehabilitation of the Centre Bridge-Stockton Toll Supported Bridge. The rehabilitation, which began in January 2007, extended the useful life of the bridge, with the goal of avoiding any major repairs or rehabilitation that require extended bridge closures for at least the next 15 years.

I-95/Scudder Falls Bridge Improvement Project
For more than five years, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission has been making preparations for the I-95/Scudder Falls Bridge Improvement Project. It is shaping up to be the largest construction project in the Commission's nearly 75-year history.

Milford-Montague Bridge Rehabilitation
The Milford-Montague Toll Bridge is the northernmost of the seven toll bridges to cross the Delaware River within the Commission's 139-mile jurisdiction. It is located approximately seven miles south of the New York-New Jersey state line near Port Jervis, New York

Northerly Crossings Congestion Study
In July 2006, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission released the findings and recommendation of its Northerly Crossings Corridor Congestion Mitigation Study. The comprehensive study assessed current and future transportation needs through the year 2030 on and around the Milford-Montague Toll Bridge, the Delaware Water Gap (I-80) Toll Bridge, and the Portland-Columbia Toll Bridge. A range of conceptual improvement alternatives were identified to reduce traffic congestion at these facilities.

Lower Trenton Bridge Rehabilitation
In July 2005, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission rededicated the Lower Trenton Toll Supported Bridge, marking the completion of a $4 million renovation project that included both the cleaning and repainting of the structural steel on the bridge as well as the installation of a new, improved "Trenton Makes" sign.

I-78 Express E-ZPass Lanes
The Commission is working to implement Open Road Tolling (ORT) at its I-78 river crossing. Under ORT, motorists equipped with E-ZPass will have the option of paying their tolls at highway speeds. ORT customers would pass under a gantry of high-speed transponder readers, avoiding the necessity of slowing down or stopping.

I-78 NJ Roadway Rehabilitation
The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission began work in October 2007 on the rehabilitation of the I-78 Toll Bridge approach roadway in Warren County, N.J. The Commission's New Jersey jurisdiction is approximately 4.75 miles long and includes a six-lane roadway, constructed of reinforced concrete, between the main river bridge over the Delaware River and the Still Valley Interchange, otherwise known as Exit 3. I-78 is a major east west roadway serving local, commuter and the traveling public through Pohatcong, Alpha and Greenwich municipalities. The section of road service undergoing rehabilitation originally opened to traffic on November 21, 1989.

Electronic Surveillance/Detection System
In September 2007, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission awarded a contract to improve security, safety and response throughout its 140-mile river jurisdiction between the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202) Toll Bridge Improvement Project
Construction crews will repair and strengthen the 130 cantilever brackets on the New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202) Toll Bridge during 2009. The project is expected to take six to eight months to complete and should be finished in the fall. The component of the cantilever brackets to be repaired is a steel connection plate that is considered to be excessively prone to rust damage. This component will be removed and replaced with higher-strength steel. The project contract requires conformance with local noise regulations and precautions aimed at protecting the river environment and canal-path pedestrians below the bridge.

Calhoun Street Bridge Rehabilitation
Preparatory steps are being made for a rehabilitation of the aging Calhoun Street Toll-Supported Bridge, which links Trenton, N.J. with Morrisville, Pa. The project will include replacement of the superstructure floor system, repairs of the iron truss, painting of the superstructure, repairs to the substructure and approach roadways, and improvements to the bridge's rail and sidewalk safety features. The Commission has hired a design engineering firm, which has prepared a structural analysis and conducted inspections. The project will not be advertised for construction until at least mid-summer. Public input will be sought before that occurs. The goal is to start actual rehabilitation work in late 2009 or early 2010.

Electronic Toll Collection System Enhancement
It is probably the most frequently asked question among the customers who use the seven toll bridges operated by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission: "Why does the Commission use gates (traffic-control arms) at its toll plazas?" There is a three-fold answer: First, the gates are an enforcement tool to prevent toll scofflaws from driving up toll costs for the law-abiding public. Second, the gates provide a safety function at many toll plazas by slowing traffic so toll-collection personnel can walk to and from their assigned booths. Third, the gates are not permanent; the Commission is undertaking efforts to remove the gates at its toll facilities.

Delaware Water Gap (I-80) Toll Bridge Bearing Replacements/Painting
The Delaware Water Gap (I-80) Toll Bridge actually consists of two separate, adjacent spans. At approximately 2,465 feet in length, it is easily the longest of the 20 bridges in the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission's inventory. The bridge crosses the river between the Borough of Delaware Water Gap, Pa. and Hardwick Township, N.J., serving as the primary gateway between eastern metropolitan centers and Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains vacation and recreation areas.

Districts 1, 2 and 3 Substructure Repair/Scour Remediation
The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission is moving forward with preparations for a project to repair and rehabilitate its bridge substructures. This work will also include scour remediation, or the replacement of sediment and rocks around pier abutments and aprons that have been washed away over time or during flood events. The need for the proposed scour remediation and substructure repair work stems from the findings of the 2005 Underwater Inspection report and an assessment of substructure damage resulting from the flood experienced in 2006.

Riegelsville Toll-Supported Bridge Rehabilitation Project
The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission plans to rehabilitate the Riegelsville Toll-Supported Bridge in 2010. At 105 years old, the Riegelsville span is one of the Commission's oldest and most unique bridges. It is the only vehicular suspension span in the Commission's 20-bridge system. It is heralded by bridge historians as "one of the few (if not the only) remaining American multi-span highway suspension bridges with continuous cables." Finally, the bridge is the handiwork of John A. Roebling's Sons Company, the famous steel-cable manufacturing firm that built the world-famous Brooklyn Bridge.

Delaware Water Gap (I-80) Toll Bridge ORT/Express E-ZPass Project
This traffic-congestion-mitigation project involves the creation of an Open-Road Tolling (ORT) lane along I-80 westbound on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware Water Gap Toll Bridge. The Commission currently is working to have this new electronic toll-collection lane operational by Memorial Day 2010.
