The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission (DRJTBC) is making preparations for the largest capital improvement project in its history: the I-95/Scudder Falls Bridge Improvement Project.
Under a Memorandum of Agreement that the DRJTBC entered into with the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) in January 2002, the project's limits are I-95 from PA Route 332 in Bucks County, Pa. to Bear Tavern Road in Mercer County, N.J.
Over the past five years, the DRJTBC has worked with a consultant team of engineers, planners, environmental scientists, and other specialists to prepare a draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. This draft document includes environmental studies, preliminary engineering analyses, and explanations of various alternatives that were considered to reduce traffic congestion and improve safety on the bridge and approach roadways. Upon completion, the Environmental Assessment will identify the Preferred Alternative for the project.
The draft Environmental Assessment is currently undergoing review by PennDOT, NJDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The draft document also is being reviewed by federal and state environmental resource and regulatory agencies with regard to project findings, assessments and mitigation for a number of environmental considerations within the project limits including historical and archeological resources, threatened and endangered species, and wetlands, among others.
The FHWA is the agency ultimately responsible for granting final approval of the completed EA. The FHWA's decision is anticipated to be issued later this year. Prior to its decision, the EA will be made available for public examination and comment through an Open House/Public Hearing.
Announcements about the availability of the EA and details about the Open House/Public Hearing will be made through this Web site, a newsletter to project stakeholders, and news coverage by local media outlets.
The public is encouraged to visit this Web site for the most current information about the I-95/Scudder Falls Bridge Improvement Project.
