BEN FRANKLIN BRIDGE TRAVEL ALERT - 2 LANES OPEN TO PA DURING MONDAY, 9/24 MORNING RUSH HOURS
Ben Franklin Bridge motorists are being asked to consider an alternate bridge or allow additional travel time during the morning rush hours on Monday, September 24. The bridge will have only two westbound lanes open to Pennsylvania instead of the normal four during weekday rush hours. There will be three lanes open eastbound to New Jersey. The restricted lane configuration is a result of Sunday’s weather that hampered a priority asphalt repair on the bridge’s westbound outer lane.
