UPDATE - PA Delaware Canal Towpath Closures Possible Weekdays in July

Intermittent closures of the Delaware Canal towpath are possible in the vicinity of I-295 on weekdays during July.  The towpath is expected to be open on weekends.  

CONTINUING: Intermittent Closures of NJ D&R Canal Towpath Section near Scudder Falls Bridge Possible in July

Limited, intermittent daytime and nightime closures of the Delaware & Raritan Canal towpath on the New Jersey side of the Scudder Falls Bridge may occur during July.  Closures -- when needed -- would allow for construction and inspection activities relative to completing the I-295 approach bridge that crosses over NJ Route 29 NB, NJ Route 175/River Road, and the canal.  Towpath closures are unlikely to occur on weekends.
