The West Trenton Railroad Bridge is a concrete arch bridge carrying the CSX and SEPTA West Trenton rail lines across the Delaware River between Yardley, Pennsylvania and Ewing Township, New Jersey. It was originally designed by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and was constructed from 1911 - 1913 by the F.W. Talbot Construction Company.
The bridge is 1445.5 ft. long between abutments, and is made up of 14 arches, 11 of which have a clear span of 90 ft. 9 in. and 3 with a clear span of 85 ft. 11 in. [1]
The masonry piers alongside this bridge carried the original 1875 wrought-iron truss bridge (Yardleyville Centennial Bridge).
