Delaware Memorial Bridge, Twin suspension bridge in New Castle, United States
The Delaware Memorial Bridge consists of two parallel steel structures spanning 3,291 meters across the Delaware River between New Castle and Pennsville Township.
The construction of these parallel bridges began in 1949 and concluded in 1968, establishing a critical transportation link between Delaware and New Jersey.
The bridge stands as a memorial to Delaware and New Jersey military personnel who lost their lives during World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam War.
Motorists pay a $4 toll when traveling southbound while northbound traffic crosses without charge, with approximately 80,000 vehicles using the bridge daily.
The structure offers travelers views of three states from its center point, including the Philadelphia skyline while crossing the Delaware River.
