The Delaware River–Turnpike Toll Bridge is a four-lane, steel, arch-shaped, continuous truss bridge crossing the Delaware River between Burlington Township, Burlington County, New Jersey and Bristol Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. As a part of Interstate 95, it is a major highway link between Philadelphia and New York City. The bridge also connects the Pennsylvania Turnpike's east-west mainline with the main trunk of the New Jersey Turnpike, via the Pearl Harbor Memorial Turnpike Extension . Tolls are collected only in the west/southbound direction via electronic toll collection.
The bridge was built by both the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority when the PTC completed the "Delaware River Extension" of the Pennsylvania Turnpike between Valley Forge and Bristol Township in 1955, while the NJTA built the 118-mile NJ Turnpike between Penns Grove and Ridgefield Park between 1950 and 1952. While the Pennsylvania Turnpike itself predates its New Jersey counterpart by over 10 years , the expansion of the Pennsylvania Turnpike to a cross-state highway was put on hold for the duration of World War II.
