Trenton-Morrisville Bridge to receive US$67 million upgrade
Published:  March 29, 2005

The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission has announced US$67 million in planned enhancements for the Trenton-Morrisville Route 1 Toll Bridge, including the addition of a northbound lane, lane widenings and reconstruction of the bridge deck. DRJTBC yesterday approved a US$6.76 million contract with Louis Berger Group to perform preliminary, final, and post design work on the project. The bridge is a 12-span, simply supported composite steel and concrete structure with an overall length of 404m. It was built with four lanes in 1952 but subsequently widened and now has three southbound and two northbound lanes. The recommended project plan will involve symmetrical widening by 2.4m on each side.
