Lower Trenton Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Trenton, United States
The Lower Trenton Bridge spans 1,022 feet across the Delaware River, connecting the cities of Trenton, New Jersey, and Morrisville, Pennsylvania.
The bridge first opened in 1806 as a toll structure, underwent multiple renovations, and the current steel span was completed in 1928 to meet transportation needs.
The bridge displays the illuminated text 'Trenton Makes The World Takes' on its eastern side, representing the industrial heritage of the region.
The structure carries two lanes of US Route 1 Business traffic with a weight restriction of 5 tons and allows pedestrian crossings between states.
The bridge served as part of the Lincoln Highway in 1920 and later became integrated into US Route 1, marking its role in early American road networks.
