  Betsy Ross Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Betsy Ross Bridge is a truss bridge spanning the Delaware River from Philadelphia to Pennsauken, New Jersey.
It was originally planned as the Delair Bridge, after a paralleling vertical lift bridge owned by Pennsylvania Railroad (now used by Conrail and NJ Transit's Atlantic City Line), but was instead named for Betsy Ross, creator of the first American flag, making it the first bridge to be named after a female.
Construction began in 1969, but the bridge didn't open to traffic until 1976 due to numerous problems with the communities the bridge's ramps were in.

The Tacony-Palmyra Bridge is an arch bridge with a double drawbridge connecting Route 73 in Palmyra, New Jersey to the Tacony section of Philadelphia.

The bridge has a $2 toll, and despite interruptions due to passing shipping traffic (the Delaware River is navigable as far as Van Sciver Lake near Bristol, Pennsylvania), the bridge serves as a lower cost alternative to the six-lane, high-span Betsy Ross Bridge which costs $3.
