Crash investigation closes Tacony-Palmyra Bridge early Sunday

Drivers in Northeast Philadelphia and across the Delaware River in New Jersey were diverted around alternate routes early Sunday after an overnight crash caused the closure of the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge overnight.

At about 3:27 a.m., Burlington County, New Jersey officials shared an alert online noting that the bridge was closed in both directions due to a single-vehicle crash.

However, officials did not immediately detail further specifics of the crash, what led it to occur or if anyone was hurt in this incident.

But, officials said, the bridge had been partially lifted as a result of the crash.

As of about 7:15 a.m., the bridge was still closed to traffic as officials worked to clear the situation.

The bridge has since reopened.
