DOT invests $600M in rebuilding I-95’s Delaware River Bridge
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy announced on April 1, 2026, a $600 million investment to rebuild the Delaware River Bridge between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. This funding will tackle gridlock on the East Coast’s busiest highway and strengthen America’s commerce and safety.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission will receive $600 million for the PA Turnpike-I-95 Interchange Program, Delaware River Bridge. The replacement of the existing 1956 Delaware River Bridge structure is critical to maintaining the I-95 river crossing between Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and Burlington County, New Jersey. The project will increase resiliency by reducing the area obstructing river flow during high water events, among other critical improvements that will safeguard the interstate asset, neighboring communities and the navigable Delaware River.
“On the East Coast alone, this $600 million investment will rebuild essential arteries that feed our nation’s economy and support tens of thousands of jobs,” said Duffy.
