The two-lane bridge will be down to one during off-peak hours Sunday to Saturday.
Inspections to the Riverton-Belvidere bridge will have the two-lane span down to one during off-peak hours for a week, according to the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission.
The 111-year-old bridge will be checked as the commission prepares to replace steel parts and strengthen the structure.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane from Sunday through Saturday, with alternating lanes 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday to Friday to avoid peak travel times, the commission said in a news release. The restrictions are subject to change.
Drivers who use the bridge, which connects Belvidere and Lower Mount Bethel Township, should allow extra time for their travels.
In October, Ammann & Whitney Pennsylvania Inc. was awarded the $517,000 contract to conduct the repairs, the commission said.
