NEW JERSEY — Sign reflectivity assessments have been completed at 10 toll-supported Delaware River bridges operated by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission.
The specialized inspections were conducted over two nights by a commission subconsultant, beginning at the Lower Trenton Toll-Supported Bridge and moving north to the Riverton-Belvidere Toll-Supported Bridge.
The inspections evaluate the retroreflective properties of signs, which allow them to reflect light from vehicle headlights back toward drivers. The process makes signs brighter and easier to read at night, helping motorists navigate and make decisions while traveling across the bridges.
Because the reflective properties of signs deteriorate over time, the commission conducts the assessments every two years as part of its bridge inspection process.
Signs that do not meet the commission’s standards are identified for replacement by maintenance crews.
