Active Alerts

Motorists should plan to be blocked from crossing the Commission's Washington Crossing Toll-Supported Bridge between approximately 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Local police in Hopewell Twp., N.J. and Upper Makefiled, PA. are expected to block the bridge's vehicular access points for two events scheduled to take place at flanking state parks on Sunday.

Motorists anticipating to use the bridge during daytime hours Sunday should plan ahead and avoid using the bridge while event activities are taking place. The closest river crossing points are the Scudder Falls (I-295) Toll Bridge, which is 2.5 miles to the south with tolls being charged electronically through E-ZPass and TOLL BY PLATE in the Pennsylvania-bound direction, and the New Hope-Lambertville Toll-Supported Bridge, which is 7 miles to the north and free to cross in either direction.

The Washington Crossing Bridge's pedestrian walkway will remain open. Pedestrians will not be allowed on the bridge's roadway deck; it will not be used as viewing platform because a previously scheduled Washington Crossing reenactment practice session has been cancelled due to low water levels.

More information on Sunday's two state park events can be viewed at:

• New Jersey -- https://revolutionarynj.org/event/4th-annual-washingtons-landing-in-new-jersey/
• Pennsylvania -- https://www.washingtoncrossingpark.org/event/first-crossing-reenactment-2025/

Both the scope of the events and the anticipated travel restrictions are subject to change due to weather, emergencies, and other factors.

Flagger-controlled alternating single-lane travel restrictions are scheduled to be in effect at the Uhlerstown Frenchtown Toll-Supported Bridge from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 13, and Sunday, Dec. 14.

The travel restriction is needed for completing remaining elements of a year-long rehabilitation project at the 94-year-old truss bridge.

Brief travel delays are possible when alternating single-lane restrictions are in effect.

Motorists are urged to reduce speeds and follow flagger instructions when approaching or crossing the bridge.

The scheduled travel restrictiosn are subject to change due to weather, emergencies, or other factors.

The New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202) Toll Bridge is restricted to single travel lanes in each directions with a 10-foot width restriction in the southbound (Pennsylvania-bound) direction and an 11-foot width restrictions in the northbound (New Jersey-bound) direction.

The travel restrictions will remain in effect until further notice.

A Commission contractor is in the process of removing the former cash-collection toll plaza at the bridge. The Contractor will then erect an open-road cashless all-electronic tolling gantry in approximately the same location. The project also will involve repairs and improvements to the bridge’s Pennsylvania abutment.

Route 202 motorists approaching the bridge are urged to reduce speeds, prepare for lane shifts, observe size restrictions, and exercise caution.
