The Pennsylvania Turnpike advises motorists that the westbound left lane at the Delaware River Bridge Cashless Tolling Point at milepost 359 in Bristol Township, Bucks County, will be closed for seven hours from 10 p.m. on March 9 to 5 a.m. on March 10.  A single-lane pattern will allow motorist to utilize the right lane of the bridge where E-ZPass and PA Turnpike TOLL BY PLATE will be operational.

The closure is needed for maintenance crews to repair electronic toll equipment. This work will proceed as weather permits. Message boards will be in place to alert motorists of the closure and traffic shifts.
