This puts traffic on I-95 in major hurt. The bridge leads to the Jersey Turnpike. Next closest bridge across the Delaware is up by Philly [Camden].

Boy Howdy !!!

The Delaware Memorial Bridge leads to the Jersey Turnpike. The affected bridge takes I-495 across the Christiana River as part of a bypass around Wilmington. It does not lead to the Turnpike.

The bridge is NOT on the I-295 route to New Jersey - Delaware Memorial Bridge. It is on I-495 which is a bypass around Wilmington, Delaware...along Delaware River, near the huge landfill.

It is going to put all I-95 through traffic on 95 instead of most using the bypass around Wilmington. There is still construction on I-95 at 202 so it will be a major traffic jam area. Until this past Monday, most through traffic including all trucks and buses used the I-495 bypass.

That said, it will not affect any bridges to NJ - and there are 3 of them before you get to the Ben Franklin (Camden). The I-295 bridge to the NJ turnpike veers off of I-95 before I-495 begins.
