The Dingman's Ferry Bridge, a privately-owned toll bridge that crosses the Delaware River between Sandyston, New Jersey, and Delaware Township, Pennsylvania, is currently closed for its annual maintenance. The closure is part of a routine procedure that takes place every September to replace damaged and worn deck planks.
Approximately a third of the bridge's 700 planks are being replaced during this maintenance period. The bridge is a crucial link for many local residents and its closure may cause some temporary inconvenience. However, the maintenance is essential to ensure the safety and longevity of the bridge.
The bridge is expected to reopen to traffic by 4 p.m. on Friday, September 20. Commuters are advised to plan their routes accordingly and to expect potential delays during this period.
