Commodore Barry Bridge Painting Project
A significant, multi-year, $220-million rehabilitation project is now underway to preserve and enhance the Commodore Barry Bridge, a critical transportation link between Chester, PA and Bridgeport, NJ. In 2024, the bridge carried 15.1 million vehicles, averaging over 41,000 daily crossings. Slated for completion in early 2028, this extensive project aims to prevent steel deterioration and ensure the long-term safety and reliability of the bridge for years to come. Learn more.
