Ramp plan eyed to link I 95 with Barry Bridge
The Delaware River Port Authority backs a 500000 ramp to connect I 95 traffic to the Commodore Barry Bridge. Without the ramp motorists would route through Chester streets to access the bridge linking to New Jersey highways. The ramp would aid drivers coming north on I 95 from southern Delaware County and northern Delaware.
