The Scudder Falls Bridge is a toll bridge that carries Interstate 295 (I-295) over the Delaware River, connecting Lower Makefield Township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with the Scudders Falls section of Ewing Township in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States. It is maintained by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission (DRJTBC). The original bridge was a plate girder bridge constructed from 1958 to 1961, and the current structure is a box-girder bridge that opened in 2019. Previously, the bridge was a toll-free crossing. However, this changed on July 14, 2019, when an all-electronic toll was levied for Pennsylvania-bound traffic; the toll can be paid using E-ZPass or Toll-by-Plate.A $534 million replacement project for the bridge was completed, which involved widening I-295 in the area from four lanes to eight, and reconstruction of the interchanges at both ends of the bridge. The first span of the new bridge opened to Pennsylvania-bound traffic on July 10, 2019. New Jersey-bound traffic was moved onto the new span on July 24, 2019, and demolition of the old span began afterwards. As well, a shared-use path for bicycle and foot-traffic opened on November 16, 2021.

Jacobs Creek (New Jersey)
Jacobs Creek (New Jersey)

Jacobs Creek is a tributary of the Delaware River in Mercer County in the U.S. state of New Jersey. From its headwaters in Hopewell Township, the creek flows generally south and southwest. Along the creek's lower course, it flows along the border between Hopewell Township and Ewing Township, entering the Delaware River between Lambertville and Trenton.Arising along the west flank of Pennington Mountain, elevation 381 feet (116 m), Jacobs Creek flows under Poor Farm Road, through Woosamonsa Ridge Preserve and under Woosamonsa Road before reaching Pennington-Harbourton Road (County Route 623). Further downstream, it passes under Pennington-Titusville Road and then Washington Crossing-Pennington Road (CR 546). After receiving Woolsey Brook from the left, Jacobs Creek flows roughly parallel to Jacobs Creek Road (CR 637), which is on the left bank, and passes under Bear Farm Road (CR 579). The creek turns southwest as it reaches the boundary between Hopewell Township and Ewing Township and follows this boundary, crossing it several times before passing under River Road (New Jersey Route 29), the Delaware and Raritan Canal and its towpath and entering the Delaware River.Jacobs Creek Trail, runs 1.3 miles (2.1 km) along the creek between Pennington-Harbourton Road on the north (upstream end) and Pennington-Titusville Road on the south with an additional 0.25 miles (0.40 km) spur south of Pennington-Titusville Road. The trail environs include a mixture of bottomlands, bluffs, and open spaces. Deer, fox, amphibians, and reptiles frequent the area. Birds near the trail and creek may include Carolina wrens, woodpeckers, red-eyed vireos and Baltimore orioles. Evergreens, eastern redcedars, maples, hickories, ashes, and oaks grow along the main trail. The largest red oak in the Hopewell Valley is found in the preserve.
