Street, GWB Walkway Closures Planned for Sunday

The southern walkway of the George Washington Bridge will be closed Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. because of the Girl Scout Councils of New Jersey’s ceremonial “bridging” event, with thousands of Girl Scouts using the walkway to cross the bridge to commemorate the start of the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting. 

The northern walkway of the bridge, which is usually closed, will be open to the public Sunday while the southern walkway is closed.

After 3 p.m., the southern walkway will reopen to the public.

In addition, Martha Washington Highway will be closed to traffic between Main St. and Bruce Reynolds Blvd. tentatively from 6 p.m. Saturday to 6 p.m. Sunday.

There will also be increased security in the area Sunday.

Following the event, at about 6 p.m. on Sunday, all traffic patterns are expected to return to normal.
