• PA Turnpike Bridge replacement gets $600M from feds. But what's the plan (keystonenewsroom.com) — Florence drivers should know a new $600 million federal investment will replace the aging Delaware River Turnpike bridge that links I‑95 and the turnpikes between Bristol Township and Florence. Two construction options could mean four to eight years of detours on nearby roads starting around 2031, but officials say tolls won’t rise and the wider bridge should improve safety and traffic flow.
