Interstate 78 Toll Bridge

The Interstate 78 Toll Bridge is a road bridge that crosses the Delaware River between Williams Township, Pennsylvania, and Phillipsburg, New Jersey. It carries six traffic lanes and provides a direct connection between the two states.

The bridge opened in 1989 when the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission established this new crossing over the Delaware River. It has since become a key transportation route connecting the two states.

The bridge serves as a daily crossing point where thousands of commuters and travelers pass through to connect two states. It marks a symbolic boundary between two distinct regions and enables movement and exchange between Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Travelers heading west into Pennsylvania should expect to pay a toll, while eastbound traffic into New Jersey crosses without charge. The toll booths and E-ZPass lanes keep traffic moving relatively smoothly, especially outside rush hours.

The bridge sits above karst limestone where sinkholes can suddenly develop, requiring ongoing specialized maintenance work. This challenging geology makes maintaining this crossing more demanding than many other structures in the region.
