PA Turnpike & NJTA to Hold Public Meeting Open Houses for Delaware River Bridge Project

PA Turnpike & NJTA to Hold Public Meeting Open Houses for Delaware River Bridge Project

Bucks County, PA and Burlington County, NJ – The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike) and New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) are hosting Public Meeting Open Houses for the Delaware River Bridge (DRB) project, which will improve the 70-year-old bridge, ease congestion and support a critical part of the PA Turnpike/Interstate-95 (I-95) Interchange Project.  

The PA Turnpike and NJTA are re-evaluating rehabilitation and replacement options for the existing bridge as part of the PA Turnpike / I-95 Interchange Project, which directly connects both roadways and makes I-95 continuous throughout the Mid-Atlantic.  

Two in-person public meeting open houses are scheduled, along with a virtual public meeting option. The same information will be shared at all three meetings. For the in-person open houses, there will be no formal presentation. Instead, the project team will be available to answer questions.
