The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and New Jersey Turnpike Authority are hosting Public Meeting Open Houses about the Delaware River Bridge Project with in-person and virtual options.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike) and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA), with oversight from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), are currently re-evaluating rehabilitation and replacement options for the existing Delaware River Bridge (DRB).
The previously selected alternative from the 2003 Record of Decision (ROD) was to build a new bridge to carry eastbound (i.e. I-95 NB to NJ) traffic and rehabilitate the existing bridge to carry westbound (i.e. I-95 SB to PA) traffic. In 2017, a fracture of one of the existing bridge approach trusses required a full closure of more than six weeks while the bridge was fully inspected and repaired. The full closure resulted in extensive detours for the approximately 67,000 daily vehicles traveling this section of I-95, said authorities overseeing the project and community survey.
