Gate install at Washington Xing Visitor Center

It appears they are in the process of installing gates at the parking lot at the Washington Crossing Visitor Center, presumably to lock the lot after hours(?). Only the gates are there at this time - no locking mechanism is visible at this time.

The gates are now locked from the River Road side, however you can enter from the side and park there. And yes, you will be ticketed for parking there after hours.
