WASHINGTON CROSSING – Motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians frustrated with the Washington Crossing Toll-Supported Bridge’s poor customer experience profile will have an opportunity to learn about an ongoing bridge-examination process and submit comments at a Public Scoping Open House scheduled to take place Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
The public scoping event will have two drop-in-at-anytime sessions:
| The Crossing Church Tuesday, February 10 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. 1895 Wrightstown Road Washington Crossing, PA. 18977 |
Union Fire Company and Rescue Squad Wednesday, February 11 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. 1396 River Road Titusville, N.J. 08560 |
The sessions will consist of display-board stations where motorists, pedestrians, business owners, residents, and other interested parties may speak with members of the professional team involved with the Washington Crossing Bridge Alternatives Analysis, a multi-year research, documentation, and review process that is being conducted in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). There will be no formal presentation; people may arrive and leave at any time during the 2-1/2-hour sessions.
The Commission launched the detailed environmental examination process in August 2024 to help determine whether it is sensible to continue further public investment on the current bridge. An introductory video is posted here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRu1u1ZaVyw.
The upcoming public scoping open house sessions are an early public-outreach step in this process. Following the sessions, the displayed materials will be added to the webpage established for the Washington Crossing Bridge Alternatives Analysis: www.washingtoncrossingbridge.com. Individuals unable to attend the public scoping open house sessions would then be able to view the materials and submit comments and questions.
