The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission is planning New Hope-Lambertville Toll-Supported Bridge inspections that will impact traffic.

The commission said the two-lane bridge will be reduced to a single alternating-travel lane during off-peak daytime hours on Wednesday, April 5, and Thursday, April 6. The restriction is scheduled to be in effect between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on both dates.

A flagger stationed at each end of the work area will direct the single-lane, alternate-direction traffic.

Drivers have been advised to allow extra time to reach their destinations. They also asked drivers to exercise caution when traveling through an inspection/work area.

Weather, emergencies, and traffic issues could lead to the date and times of the work changing, the commission said.

The inspection of the bridgeโ€™s steel superstructure is the reason for the travel restriction. The inspections are being conducted as part of a planning and design process for a rehabilitation of the bridge that is being planned for 2024.
