Current Alternatives

Alternatives are being developed for the Scudder Falls Bridge and I-95 and design options for the interchanges at Taylorsville Road and NJ Route 29. These alternatives and options will be developed and evaluated as part of the NEPA Process.

Recent studies have helped the team refine the alternatives. A consultant feasibility study that looked at engineering and cost factors recommended that the existing bridge should be replaced rather than rehabilitated. All alternatives that are being advanced for further study assume that the bridge will be replaced. Also, in-depth traffic analyses show that five northbound lanes and four southbound lanes are needed on the bridge to accommodate traffic at Level of Service (LOS) D or better through 2030. To achieve LOS D or better on I-95, four lanes northbound and three lanes southbound are needed in New Jersey, and three lanes in each direction are required in Pennsylvania. The current alternatives and design options were displayed at the May 2005 Open House.
