TRENTON, NJ – The Calhoun Street Toll-Supported Bridge is scheduled to be shut down to all vehicular traffic for up to four hours between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 17, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission announced today.
The temporary traffic closure will allow Commission maintenance personnel to repaint the bridge’s centerline. The bridge’s walkway will remain open to pedestrians during the vehicular traffic closure.
Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and choose alternate routes to avoid travel delays during the scheduled shutdown period. The two closest Delaware River bridges are the Lower Trenton (“Trenton Makes”) Toll-Supported Bridge located one mile south and the Scudder Falls (I-295) Toll Bridge located 4.6 miles north.
The Calhoun Street Bridge is one of three bridges connecting Trenton, N.J. with Morrisville, PA. The bridge may be accessed from Calhoun Street and NJ Route 29 on the New Jersey side and Trenton Avenue and PA Route 32 on the Pennsylvania side.
Notes: The scheduled closure period is subject to change due to weather, emergencies, and other factors. The bridge could reopen before the scheduled four-hour closure duration ends if favorable weather conditions speed drying of the newly applied centerline.
About the Commission
The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission was formed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey in 1934 and its federal Compact was first approved by Congress in August 1935. The agency operates eight toll bridges and 12 toll-supported bridges, two of which are pedestrian-only spans. The Commission is a self-supporting public-service agency that receives neither federal nor state tax dollars to finance its projects or operations. Funding for the operations, maintenance and upkeep of its bridges and related transportation facilities is solely derived from revenues collected at its toll bridges. The Commission’s jurisdiction extends along the Delaware River from the Philadelphia-Bucks County line north to the New Jersey/New York border. The bridges carried more than 131.9 million cars and trucks in 2025. For more information, please go to: www.drjtbc.org.
