NEW HOPE, PA – The Centre Bridge-Stockton and New Hope-Lambertville Toll-Supported Bridges are scheduled to be shut down to all vehicular traffic for respective 30-minute-long durations on Thursday, Oct. 1, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission (DRJTBC) announced today.
The temporary traffic closures will occur at different times at each bridge somewhere between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. The non-concurrent short-duration closure periods will enable Commission maintenance personnel to repaint the centerlines on each bridge. The bridges’ pedestrian walkways will remain open.
During each respective vehicular closure period, new yellow centerlines will be applied and cones will be placed to shield the lines from traffic while drying occurs. The drying process can take up to two hours.
Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and choose alternate routes to avoid travel delays while bridge vehicular lanes are temporarily closed.
The two closest Delaware River vehicular bridges to the Centre Bridge-Stockton Toll-Supported Bridge are the New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202) Toll Bridge to the south and the Uhlerstown-Frenchtown Toll-Supported Bridge to the north. The two closest Delaware River vehicular bridges to the New Hope-Lambertville Toll-Supported Bridge are the Washington Crossing Toll-Supported Bridge to the south and the New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202) Toll Bridge to the north.
Note: The scheduled temporary bridge traffic closures are subject to change due to weather, emergencies, and other factors.
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.
