Burlington County Bridge Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia On October 22, 1948, the Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders formally adopted a resolution that created the Burlington County Bridge Commission and, at the same time, approved the purchase by the Commission of the Burlington-Bristol and Tacony-Palmyra Bridges from a private company. This arrangement with the County was agreed upon by the Commission because River Road was considered to be a “feeder road” for both the Burlington-Bristol and Tacony-Palmyra Bridges. It now manages eight bridges, including the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, the Burlington-Bristol Bridge, and the Riverside-Delanco Bridge. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Burlington_County_Bridge_Commission   (313 words)

Tacony-Palmyra Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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. 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 total length of 3,659 feet (1,115 meters), and spans 2,324 feet (708 meters) across the Delaware River. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Tacony-Palmyra_Bridge   (220 words)

Burlington County Bridge Commission History The Burlington-Bristol Bridge crosses the Delaware River between the cities of Burlington, New Jersey and Bristol, Pennsylvania.

Burlington-Bristol Bridge (PA 413-NJ 413) The replacement bridge had the support of many residents on both sides of the Delaware River, but was opposed by the Democratic mayors of Bristol and Burlington, who feared that the bridge approaches would destroy homes and businesses. The proposed Burlington-Bristol Bridge, which was to accommodate vessels bound for nearby factories, was to be constructed across Burlington Island, approximately one mile upstream from the site of the present bridge. The original plan called for a five-span structure between Burlington and Burlington Island (one of which was to be a 300-foot-long lift span), and a three-span structure between Burlington Island and Bristol. www.phillyroads.com /crossings/burlington-bristol   (1553 words)

Philadelphia Commentary: The Philadelphia Bay (1) The Burlington Bristol Bridge is now getting a little narrow and ancient, but is still serviceable. As Tacony Palmyra Bridge were built on both sides of the river, the local politics gradually shifted enough to permit a restoration of toll equity. Together with the Tacony Palmyra Bridge, which charged the same low toll, these locally owned bridges stuck a thumb in the eye of the tax-and-spend folks who owned the Philadelphia bridges and who wanted to charge three dollars toll, spending most of it on non-bridge activities. gfisher.blogspot.com /2004/02/philadelphia-bay-1.html   (2354 words)

Rohm and Haas Company Bristol Site It wasn't that long ago that a commute across the Burlington Bristol Bridge carried two very distinct experiences, navigating the narrow two-lane bridge across the Delaware River and smelling the often unpleasant odors from the Rohm and Haas Bristol plant. The complexity of the Bristol facility and the low odor threshold of the acrylic monomers used in the manufacturing processes, made it difficult to pinpoint all the odor sources. Today, motorists still must contend with the narrow two-lane bridge, but thanks to the construction of the $23 million WWTP odors are a distant memory. www.rohmhaas.com /bristol/safetyenvironment/wwtp.htm   (857 words)

New Jersey Roads - NJ 413 The Burlington-Bristol Bridge was proposed to be an Interstate highway, I-895, if only to provide a freeway-freeway connection instead of a surface road from US 130 to US 13. The bridge is also the only Delaware River crossing not operated by one of the interstate Authorities, but rather by the Burlington County Bridge Commission. These signs all stand along the rotary just west of US 130; the bridge is just west of a second rotary, so NJ 413 is basically bridge, tollbooth, rotary, one block of actual surface street, rotary, and end segment. web.mit.edu /smalpert/www/roads/nj/nj_413   (233 words)
