Interstate 295 was extended west from Lawrence township, New Jersey to the Scudder Falls Bridge and south to Bristol township in 2018 over what was Interstate 95.

Scudder Falls Bridge
Underway through early 2022, the Scudder Falls Bridge Replacement Project upgraded a 4.4 mile long section of I-295 from PA 332 (Yarley-Newtown Road) to CR 579 (Bear Tavern Road) in New Jersey. A new tolled six lane span carrying I-295 across the Delaware River between Lower Makefield Township and Ewing Township, New Jersey replaced the four lane bridge built in 1959. Work included reconstructing the interchange with Route 29 at Ewing and reconfiguring the Taylorsville Road Interchange in Lower Makefield. The first of the two new bridges opened with two-way traffic on July 9, 2019. Tolls were implemented in the southbound direction on July 14, 2019. The second span opened on August 21, 2021.
