A website containing “data, updates and other materials” about renovations to or the replacement of the historic Washington Crossing Bridge has been set up by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission to keep the public up-to-date on the project. The Washington Crossing Bridge Alternatives Analysis website is at washingtoncrossingbridge.com. The Bridge Commission, operator of the toll-supported 120-year-old bridge seen as in need of safety improvements. launched the website in early December “with limited content.” “But that situation will eventually change as data-gathering, updates and other materials become available as the alternatives analysis work progresses,” said the Commission. A two- to three-year bridge review began last summer to identify “potential improvements and safety measures” needed by the narrow bridge that handles 7,000 vehicles daily. “The bridge is considered old and may require significant upgrades or even replacement due to safety concerns and operational limitations,” it has been summarized. The review and the possibility of renovations to or replacement of the iconic bridge has been met with protest from local and municipalities. Many Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission meetings have addressed the issue and recently started the website to provide information to the public. The website provides an overview of the bridge analysis now underway, as well as frequently asked questions about the National Environmental Protection Agency process. There’s a link to the federal Council on Environmental Quality’s “Citizens Guide to the NEPA” in the new site, plus a schedule of major activities and milestones, a contact page for visitors to offer questions and comments, and background information on the ‘star’ used in the analysis’ logo. The Commission said the review objective is to identify the best solution to problems at the bridge. “The primary objective of the analysis process is to identify a ‘preferred alternative’ that would improve mobility and provide a safe and reliable crossing at the Washington Crossing Bridge location,” it said. “The process is currently projected to yield a preferred alternative in spring 2027.”
