Motorists faced difficult conditions on Friday after delays in an overnight deck patching project on the Delaware Memorial Bridge led to delays on a busy summer travel day. 

The Delaware River and Bay Authority issued an apology over delays on the southbound span of the bridge that produced back-ups  on the New Jersey side of the twin-spans since three lanes were closed 

The bridge that is older than most of the motorists who cross over it undergoes continuous maintenance that often closes one lane on weekdays.

The bridge also has a sizable amount of commuter traffic from Salem County,  NJ residents who work in Delaware.
