The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority are seeking public opinion on the future of the Delaware River Bridge, writes Mike DeNardo for KYW Newsradio.

An online public survey is currently underway regarding the rehabilitation or replacement of the 70-year-old bridge connecting the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Turnpikes.

The survey will remain open until January 3, giving the 67,000 daily drivers who regularly cross the four-lane bridge and nearby residents a chance to voice their environmental concerns.

“Right now we’re reevaluating making changes to this bridge,” said Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission press secretary Marissa Orbanek. “It’s really going to enhance safety and improve capacity and make this a better experience for the tens of thousands of people who drive the Delaware River Bridge each day.”

The results of the survey will be shared early next year.

“Eventually we’re going to be presenting a series of community engagement meetings throughout the public just to talk about the process,” added Orbanek.

Preliminary engineering for improvements to the two-way bridge is expected to be completed by 2027, with final design work incorporating the public input to be finished four years later.
