New Hope-Lambertville Toll Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Hope-Lambertville Toll Bridge carries U.S. Route 202 over the Delaware River, connecting Delaware Twp, New Jersey and Solebury Township, Pennsylvania. The bridge, part of an $8 million project approved in 1967,[1] was opened on July 22, 1971, in ceremonies attended by Governor of New Jersey William T. Cahill.[2]
The bridge is constructed with steel girders and a concrete deck, has a total length of 1,682 feet (513 meters), and is operated by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission. Tolls are collected from motorists traveling southbound at a five-lane toll gate on the Pennsylvania side of the bridge. The toll for automobiles is $0.75, with a 20% discount on tolls for vehicles using the E-ZPass electronic toll collection system.
The DRJBTC is also responsible for maintenance and operation of the interchanges with Route 29 in New Jersey and Route 32 on the Pennsylvania side.
