'Get an E-Z Pass,' Bridge Commission Tells I-78 Drivers
Traffic on the Lehigh Valley portion of Interstate 78 is expected to increase as Route 22 bridge construction begins in Easton.
The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission is urging commuters who use Interstate 78 to get into New Jersey to invest in an E-Z Pass device.
That's because the commission says it expects traffic to increase on the highway next month, when construction begins on the Route 22 bridge in Easton.
The roughly $30 million project is expected to take until early 2015 to complete, and will involve Route 22 being reduced to one lane during part of that time: six months this year, and another nine months in 2014.
