Temporary Weekday NJ-Bound Traffic Detours To Start Monday At New Hope-Lambertville Bridge
New Jersey-bound traffic is scheduled to be detoured off the New Hope-Lambertville Toll-Supported Bridge during daytime hours on weekdays only for up two weeks, starting Monday, September 15, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission announced .
The bridge – which directly connects the commercial centers of Lambertville, N.J. and New Hope, PA. – will remain open to vehicular traffic in the Pennsylvania-bound direction (the toll direction at the nearby New Hope-Lambertville [Route 202] Toll Bridge) at all times. The bridge’s pedestrian walkway also is expected to remain in service without interruption. The bridge also will be open fully to two-way traffic during nighttime hours and on weekends.

A New Jersey-bound travel restriction is expected to be in effect at the bridge 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays (Monday to Friday, Sept. 15-19 and 22-26 ), with affected traffic detoured to the non-tolled northbound direction at the nearby New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202) Toll Bridge for travel to Lambertville and other nearby New Jersey destinations.
The NJ-bound traffic detour is needed so a Commission contractor can install a temporary under-bridge platform that will be used to inspect and potentially later adjust/service/repair electrical-supply components on the bridge. The installation of the temporary platform will take place from the bridge’s upstream travel lane, forcing a shift of PA-bound traffic into the downstream travel lane that normally carries NJ-bound traffic. The maintenance of PA traffic at the bridge enables those motorists to avoid the toll bridge, which is tolled in the Pennsylvania-bound direction.

In only its second year, Bucks County Community College (BCCC) picked up another medal at the prestigious horticultural expo for its ‘Rooted in Art’ tribute to Stella Elkins Tyler.
BCCC’s floral design program has once again taken home a prize in only its second year participating in the Philadelphia Flower Show. Students, alumni, and instructors earned a bronze medal for “Rooted in Art,” reflecting the College’s origins of being founded on the Newtown estate of artist and educational philanthropist Stella Elkins Tyler. The exhibit features Tyler’s sculpture “Joan of Arc at Orleans,” donated to the College by Carol Tyler, who visited the show with College President & CEO Dr. Patrick M. Jones (Feature Pic). The College was founded on the Tyler estate in Newtown more than 60 years ago. The exhibit features seven original floral designs, each interpreting the connection between nature, art, and education, alongside six selected student works from the College’s School of Arts and Communication.
