Travel Advisory

    November 10, 2016

 

Lane Closure Scheduled Nov. 12 and 13 at Delaware River Bridge Cashless Toll Point
Seven-hour, overnight lane closure may affect westbound traffic.

 

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 Nov. 12, the westbound left lane will be closed until 5 a.m. on Nov. 13 for planned upkeep of the overhead and underground tolling equipment. Traffic will still be able to get by in the right 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.

Work schedules are subject to change based on weather conditions.
