EASTON, PA - The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission today announced that the right-hand lanes in the eastbound and westbound directions on the Easton-Phillipsburg (Route 22) Toll Bridge will be closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, December 10 and Thursday, December 11.

The lane closures are required to accommodate contractors that are performing work on the bridge. The planned lane closures are 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.
