The start date for 96-hour-long weekday closures of the Scudder Falls (I-295) Toll Bridge’s 0.86-mile-long Shared-Use Path for pedestrians and bicyclists has been postponed to March 23.
The closures of the bike-ped facility original were scheduled to start Monday, March 16.
The weekly closures will enable a Commission contractor to remove and replace the uneven puddle-prone polyester polymer concrete (PPC) surface along the bridge’s elevated walkway surface.
To carry out the process, the bridge walkway will be inaccessible from Monday mornings to Friday mornings — allowing for public use on weekends.
To allow the work to proceed, the walkway facility’s entry points will be blocked at the Delaware & Raritan Canal’s rail trail on the New Jersey side and the Delaware Canal towpath on the Pennsylvania side.
