Route 202 bridge over Delaware River construction will begin next week
LAMBERTVILLE – The Route 202 bridge over the Delaware River will be reduced to single travel lanes in each direction beginning June 23 for the removal of the bridge's former cash collection toll plaza and construction of an overhead toll gantry with E-ZPass toll tag reading equipment and cameras to record the license plates of non-E-ZPass motorists.
The construction project also includes repairs to the bridge's Pennsylvania abutment backwall, which is cracked and rotating.
The single-lane restrictions are expected to remain until 2026. Travel delays are not expected.
The project is expected to be completed by late winter or early spring 2027.

The bridge, opened in 1971 as a bypass around downtown Lambertville and New Hope, carried an average of 13,800 vehicles per day in both directions during 2024.
Tolls originally were collected in both directions at the bridge. However, the bridge was converted to one-way collections in the Pennsylvania direction on Dec. 1, 2002.
