Morrisville and Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission officials broke ground this morning on roughly $1.5 million worth of transportation improvements.

The Morrisville improvements are part of 58 projects in Pennsylvania and New Jersey accounting for about $40 million from the bridge commission, the bulk of which goes to reinvest in communities with bridge commission bridges.

The project, paid for by the bridge commission, will bring new curbs, sidewalks and crosswalks on West Bridge Street from Pennsylvania to Harding avenues and on South Pennsylvania Avenue from Bridge Street to Philadelphia Avenue, officials said.

New traffic signals will be installed at the intersections of Delmorr Avenue and Bridge Street, and Pennsylvania Avenue and Bridge Street. A landscaped median island is planned for East Bridge Street from the Lower Trenton Toll Supported Bridge - the “Trenton Makes The World Takes” bridge - to Delmorr Avenue.
