BRIDGE INFORMATION & RESOURCES
DRPA traces its roots to 1919 when leaders from Pennsylvania and New Jersey began planning for a bridge across the Delaware River between Philadelphia and Camden. That bridge, now known as the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, was once the longest suspension bridge in the world. It remains a key transportation artery and a Delaware Valley landmark.
DRPA later opened three other bridges, the Walt Whitman Bridge, the Commodore Barry Bridge, and the Betsy Ross Bridge. These four bridges provide a range of travel alternatives that few urban areas can match.
