Another chapter in the bridge's history was written late last year, with the completion of a massive replacement project. The Scudder Falls Bridge carries Interstate-295 over the Delaware River, connecting Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with Mercer County, New Jersey. The original bridge constructed in 1959, had structural deficiencies and was suffering increasing congestion, prompting the replacement project. The replacement project encompassed 4.4 miles of highway and bridge improvements, including replacing the existing four-lane bridge with two twin-span structures that carries six lanes of through traffic with associated acceleration and deceleration lanes and full shoulders. The project included safety upgrades to the two highway interchanges at both ends of the bridge such as widening I-295 to the inside, providing an extra travel lane from the bridge to the Route 322 interchange in Pennsylvania and construction of shoulders throughout the corridor. |
