A historic bridge connecting a popular Bucks County town with New Jersey is showing its age and must close for needed repairs.
The New Hope-Lambertville Toll-Supported Bridge closed Monday, Jan. 13, 2025, for at least two weeks so that a rusted 120-year-old pin that supports the span over the Delaware River could be repaired, according to the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission, which operates the bridge.
The bridge could remained closed for up to two weeks, until Jan. 27, 2025, the DRJTBC said.
"The uninterrupted bridge closure will enable work crews and engineers to replace a deteriorated 4-inch-diameter, 18-inch-long steel pin that supports a critical joint of 11 structural steel members on the bridge’s second truss span from the Pennsylvania side," the bridge commission said. "The 120-year-old pin has rusted and worn to the point where it poses a potential risk for failure under heavy load."
