NEW HOPE, PA - The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission today announced that the southbound right-hand lane of the Scudder Falls (I-95) Bridge is scheduled to be closed from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday, December 8 through Friday, December 12.

The lane closure is required to accommodate contractors that are performing work in the vicinity of the bridge. The planned lane closure is subject to change due to weather or other unanticipated construction, emergency or traffic-related considerations.

Motorists are asked to reduce their speed and use caution as they travel through an active work zone.

The bridge crosses the Delaware River, linking Lower Makefield Township, Pa. with Ewing Township, N.J.
