Lane Closure Scheduled October 8 and 9 at Delaware River Bridge Cashless Tolling Point |
||
The Pennsylvania Turnpike advises westbound motorists on I-276 using the PA Turnpike Bridge over the Delaware River in Bucks County that traffic may be heavy overnight while the left lane is closed. This is a Cashless Tolling point where drivers do not stop to pay a toll and travel at highway speeds. Beginning at 10 p.m. on Oct. 8, the westbound left lane will be closed until 6 a.m. on Oct. 9 for planned upkeep of the overhead and underground tolling equipment. Traffic will still be able to get by in the left lanes. During the lane closure, motorists traveling on I-276 should be prepared for slow-moving or even stopped traffic. Tolls at the PA Turnpike Bridge over the Delaware River will still be collected via E-ZPass or Toll-By-Plate. Motorists should be aware that the conventional E-ZPass lanes have a speed limit of 5 mph. Work schedules are subject to change based on weather conditions. To report an accident or other emergency on the PA Turnpike, dial *11 via mobile phone.
