One lane will be closed on Route 31 bridge

One lane on the Route 31 bridge that crosses over the CSX railroad tracks will be closed for repairs beginning at 3 a.m. July 26 and continuing through 6 a.m. July 30, according to the Hopewell Township Police Department.

The southbound lane on the Route 31 bridge will be closed and a detour will be set in place for cars, police said. Motorists will be directed onto Pennington-Titusville Road or West Delaware Avenue.

The northbound lane is not affected by lane closure for construction work, police said. Regardless, motorists should plan for alternate routes because of the potential for traffic delays.

All trucks will be detoured at Route 295 or Route 202, police said. Trucks will not be permitted to travel on Route 31 between Pennington-Titusville Road and Ingleside Avenue.

Police cautioned that the work on the Route 31 bridge is weather dependent.
