Road Work On I-295 Northbound Expected To Cause Major Delays This Week, Officials Say
MORRISVILLE, Pa. (CBS) – Morning commutes could be a nightmare this week for drivers who use Interstate 295 northbound. Road work is going to cause major delays over the next several days.
According to officials, I-295 northbound, between Route 1 and the Scudder Falls Bridge, will be reduced to one lane on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission is asking drivers to avoid the area if possible and if you must use it, be prepared for delays up to an hour.
#COMMUTERALERT in #MercerCounty: I-295 NB is now down to 1 lane between RT-1 & the Scudder Falls Bridge continuously until Thursday. Luckily this will open a new portion of the bridge but not before it brings in MAJOR delays. Take Trenton-Morrisville Bridge instead. @CBSPhilly pic.twitter.com/FtGfHcSFim
