Over 100 million dollars to repair this bridge. They should have put a brand new 4 lane bridge big enough for boats to go under and toll scanner for plates. That would require the use of a brain.

This old bridge connects pa to nj with a toll side in burlington. The price is four bucks cash or 3.00 easy pass. The bridge does raise up for boats to go under so you will be stuck once and a while in traffic which sucks. But its a convient bridge to get to the shore points and its only one lane each way with tight lanes and no room for mistakes. No pedestrians can walk across it which really sucks. Its a cool looking bridge to look at from the beach area!

Its a bridge. Have to wait for boats everyone and a while. Sign up for text alerts but you only get a 10 minute warning before the bridge opens. So unless your right near there, your going to be stuck in traffic for 10+ minutes.

I visited this place to get out of New Jersey, lady was like; four dollars, please Im like, for this? But, in reality, Ill pay that to get out of the state of New Jersey. Anyone should be willing, but the bridge is legit small, one lane. Easiest bridge to get to Bridgeport. Its a draw bridge may need to take that into account, I got stuck behind one night coming into NJ.

Its a bridge between PA and NJ, and only $3 if you have EZ-Pass from any state ($4 cash). Either way is cheaper than the DRPA bridges (all $5), and depending on if you enter I-95 at Florence, up to $5 cheaper. You may occasionally get held up by bridge openings, but theyre usually outside of peak commuting hours.

Only bridge still collecting cash tolls during a pandemic and not even wearing masks !! Greedy

Its slowly falling apart. Horrible toll plaza and the bridge is timed in sync with the train crossing. The lanes are very narrow.

If u follow the detour and when they are working on it no trouble.

A blast from the past -- re-visit driving in the 40s and 50s over a vertical lift bridge that spans the Delaware River. Look over the side as you navigate the tiny lane past trucks going the opposite direction! If you have never been on one of these, let me just point out that the lift portion of the bridge is steel. Have you ever driven on steel? How about wet steel? Or steel that has a sheet of ice on it? Its exciting!

Its a good bridge. Uh if you take the turnpike to PA its $3 to leave and $5 to then enter PA, this one is down the road and its only $4 to leave. Sturdy steel.

Always a bridge opening at rush hour, no vessels going by so they just do their daily check at the worst time. Toll operators are extremely ignorant

This bridge is one of three in the entire us that works off of counterweights. Its a work of art but Im always nervous crossing it hence the 3 stars. But 5 stars if your just looking at it from the ground.

Review №33

Perfectly fine bridge. Toll from NJ to PA is $2 currently, the opposite direction is free. Also overnight construction is going on so after 9pm there are alternating 1 way lanes. Expect delays.

Review №37

Bridge sucks, very skinny and feels inadequate. Same price as larger bridges into PA but 1/10th the size and quality. Makes you wonder where the toll $ goes.

Sa
Review №38

This bridge did not fall, but it quickly fell from my favor. Firstly, the barriers were too tall for our Ford Fiesta, a respectable and indicative ferry of the average American family. As a result, my two children (Lucile and Friedrich) could not see the historic Delaware river of forefather fame. Finally, Mr. Bristol provided a flaccid, uninspired design which has been better utilized over lesser rivers.

Ca
Review №39

Good bridge. Most of the toll takers are nice. Much quicker to get to work then driving up 95 and over the Betsy Ross.

Review №40

This bridge is a better alternative to the Jersey turnpike bridge you save about 3 dollars now due to the toll hike only issue is it opens but you can sign up for a text message and it will let you know in advance when it will open. The other issue is the riverline stops traffic so it does back up during rush hour. Its also nice to view as you walk along the river on the Jersey side.

Review №41

Small and tight, not for the faint of heart, lol. Fun to cross if youre into that sort of thing. Best to use off-peak hours, slows you down during rush as its one lane at 35mph or slower.

As a former resident of Mount Holly NJ as a child I now live in the Poconos in PA. The Burlington Bristol Bridge holds very fond memories of my childhood.

Review №43

This antique truss bridge is an odd piece of Great Depression-era engineering that connects Bristol, Croydon and Burlington near Rt. 130 in NJ. The bridge is largely favored by people that live on the Penn side and work on the Jersey side and traffic is often backed up onto PA-413 on the Penn side. Beware of jerks trying to merge late on 413 when you approach the bridge.It is a narrow bridge that has a liftable steel span for ships to pass downriver. You can really feel the steel on your tires as you drive across this thing.

Best bridge to go on if you want to be fashionably late to a funeral or to work! If youre about 15 minutes away from work, you better leave 2 hours early!

Have crossed this bridge thousands of times. It has never failed to be a challenge, particularly when an 18 wheeler is coming in the opposite direction. But the views are worth the crossing.

Its a bridge - one lane in each direction, so rather narrow compared to other local bridges. Lighter traffic than others too.

Its a bridge. Sometimes the bridge will lift to let boats pass.The toll from New Jersey to Pennsylvania is $3 with E-ZPass and $4 with cash. There is no toll from Pennsylvania to New Jersey.

This bridge is way too narrow, you would think because of it being in a high traffic area they would upgrade it and add more lanes.*Please like this post, it will motivate me to help more.*

Small and one lane pass. If bridge is up traffic can back up for a while. Avoid if can.

Can get backed up easily when bridge is up and also when the train is coming thru. However its the cheapest bridge in the area.

It was the most scariest bridge I ever crossed the lanes are to close together feels like Im about to hit an on coming car any minute..

Review №72

Know anybody with gephyrophobia (fear of bridges) or plain ol fear of heights? This is a bridge they will /hate/. The Burlington-Bristol bridge is old, shabby and rickety looking, plus its so narrow drivers in opposing lanes can easily pass around the Grey Poupon without slowing down.

Pa
Review №73

Sucky bridge. Very slow. Crappy part of town, hard to get to. Stay home.

Review №74

An older Bridge almost scary to cross sometimes because its so narrow it was worth it in the past because the price was cheaper than going over the larger bridges into Philadelphia but now that the price has been raised it almost seems to be more of an issue but since its close or if its close for you depending upon your location that would be the only reason why its worth it to take this bridge otherwise its safer to get across one of the larger Bridges it is a great problem when theres an opening for boats going through it slows down traffic dramatically and congest the town on the Burlington side tremendously

De
Review №75

It was under construction when I crossed it so I had to wait about a half hour. Theyre too cheap to build a bigger bridge so they just keep fixing it even though theres only one lane

Used to drive over this bridge quite often when I worked in Horsham and KoP in PA. I marveled at the counterweights and the rasing/lowering deck. Narrow bridge so if you are claustrophobic, use the Besty Ross.
