Trenton–Morrisville Toll Bridge

The Trenton–Morrisville Toll Bridge is one of three road bridges connecting Trenton, New Jersey with Morrisville, Pennsylvania. It opened on December 1, 1952, and is an important connection between the two states. The bridge carries U.S. Route 1, which is a major road for travel in the area.

The bridge is owned and operated by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission. Building the bridge took two years and cost $6,650,000. It has been a key part of the transportation network in the region for many years.

History and architectural features

The Trenton–Morrisville Toll Bridge opened on December 1, 1952. It was first used by cars driven by Joseph E. Wooley, a railroad conductor and salesman from Bristol, Pennsylvania.

Originally, the bridge collected tolls from cars going both ways. Now, tolls are only collected from cars heading southbound into Pennsylvania. In 2006, the bridge was renovated to add a third lane and improve safety features. This $67 million project was finished in 2009.
