Its quite a bridge and appears well maintained. I went over it during a fog and it was well lit and there were no crashes, thank you God.

Nice views from this bridge. Traffic flow was great even with one lane down.

Even with hundreds of cars & trucks stopped bumper to bumper, rest assured that this massive structure stands strong. And in the end, thats what its all about. An awe-inspiring engineering marvel for sure.

Awesome bridge to travel across, there are always enough lanes to drive on. The view from this bridge is incredible. The toll is reasonably priced compare to other toll bridges nearby.

Its a bridge what more can I say how the hell else am I going to get from one side of Jersey into Delaware and of course just construction going on on the bridge so on the way back instead of just being able to go over the bridge it took us like a half an hour to wind and weave our way through traffic just to get on the bridge

Very scenic, and always an enjoyable part of our journeys down south

You look at the left side and see a amazing river, and on the other side you just get the industrial side. That’s not what I’m saying. This is a nice bridge, but it gets backed up once in a while.

Very green bridge. Southern most bridge to cross from Jersey to Delaware. Four lanes. Usually only three open. Most weekends there are four. Five dollar toll southbound.

As you climb up the bridge you see the river below and it is beautiful .. the other half you see an industrial area and is not as glamorous.It took us around 3 min to cross the bridge with a speed of 50mph.

Its such a bottleneck, the cause of some serious congestion during a recent holiday. Hard if not impossible to avoid for those who need to get on the NJ Turnpike.

A successful leap of engineering, design, and development. Safe, spacious, and also great views! Safe traveling folks!

This magnificent twin suspension Bridges connecting New Jersey to South, Baltimore, DC. The high steel towers supporting the high and large span, with deck at nearly 150 feet above water level serving not just road traffic but easy navigation of ships.The pleasing green color of the steel bridge on subtle Delaware River is akin to marine red colour of Golden gate bridge on rough Golden gate Bay.Its 8 lane way facilitating huge traffic.

Review №23

An important artery connecting I-95 and the bridge can handle some serious traffic with its 8 wide lanes.You will be tolled one way, not exactly sure which direction is the toll enforced. You also get to see the factories and docked ships as you drive over which is really cool.

Its a good way to get across the Delaware river, but it is ironic that you have pay to leave New Jersey but can cross any bridge into N.J for free.Whats that tell you?

My grandfather was one of the electricians who assisted in creating and installing the original electrical system when the bridge was constructed.

Review №27

It got me from NJ to DE safely, in a timely manner.We have an easy pass, so the $5 toll was not a big deal for us.Hopefully, the construction during weekdays will finish up sometime soon.The construction is thoughtfully suspended during holidays.

Its one of my favorite bridges to cross when driving North. Its really a pretty view driving to and over.

Its a bridge for Gods sake. Whats there to write about? The only thing I can think of is if you typically get nervous driving on bridges then Id have someone else drive because this one is pretty big. I for one enjoyed it. I wasnt driving though. Lol

Visiting from out of state on an already stressful trip due to a family crisis, I confused 495 with 295 (which is obviously an easy mistake for an outsider), and saw a sign warning last exit before bridge. I didnt grasp the significance of this, in part because I knew 495 had a small bridge over the Christiana River coming up, though I wasnt sure why a sign was alerting me to this. If it had said last exit before TOLL BRIDGE to NJ the problem would have been obvious and I would have taken this exit. Instead, I soon found myself wasting time crossing into NJ, had a difficult turn-around in the morning traffic, then stopped at the cash booth to explain my situation to the collector and plead for mercy. He merely said well, you have an I-pass, so youre ok. In other words, he seemed to treat my problem as if it was merely one of not having the requisite cash on hand, rather than what it was: that if charged, I would be paying $5 for having gone somewhere I didnt want to be, wasting 5 minutes on a turn-around, and in short accruing no benefit from the bridge at all. I asked in despair, so youre going to charge me anyway? He shrugged with a faint smile, with no appreciation of my difficulty, and said sure. I understand that perhaps such a verbal excuse cannot be accepted since otherwise people could lie and get free trips across the bridge. But at least some greater clarity on the signs, and some acknowledgement of my plight, could have helped.

Beautiful when all the lanes are open. Bridge cops dont stop cars for speeding much. They must be looking for drug running or something else.

I crossed this bridge leaving New Jersey....It cost me 58.00 for a small car...thats highway robbery...Avoid this route!

We got across the bridge quickly with no issues and that was on a weekend morning and during construction and lane restriction.

Review №38

Unaware of Delaware tolls, had to pass through on way up north. Offered to pay by card, or check, toll operator denied form of payment. Now I receive a violation saying I owe $91.50? Im not a Delaware resident. If I offered to pay, why should I be treated like a criminal? Best part is I am military and was reporting for orders. Thanks for your service from the state of Delaware...pfft.

Review №42

Its a steeper bridge than other bridges, smaller with how many lanes are available for crossing, but its safe. I mean, its consistently gotten me from Jersey to Delaware numerous times, and its still standing!There IS Ezpass, of course, but theres also regular tolls to take cash!

Pretty impressive and large bridge. Even though it isnt as high as the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Maryland, it still is amazing to see the water on the left and right of the bridge. I only went on this bridge for two times, but it never disappoints. You should cross this bridge towards your destination at least once to get beautiful scenery and the amazing experience.

Beware***out of state*** drivers ... If you are driving into Delaware with any non Delaware tags on your vehicle you will be pulled over. Ive been taking the bridge from NJ to DE for 8 years now and every morning I see at least 3 cars pulled over at a time on the DE side after the toll. None of these vehicles ever have DE tags, these police go after NY NJ and any other license plate vehicles. They are sitting there waiting right before you hit the toll, I have DE tags so Ive been ok but one morning, no lie I saw 5 different people all pulled over at the same time at the same place all with out of state tags... The police are seeking these cars out, be careful

Apparently this is a tourist attraction. Dont you just love going on vacation to go across a bridge? My money is well spent. Only 4 stars for not having a pool to relax and smell the fresh sent of carbon dioxide and diesel fuel. Although who needs a pool when you have the worlds largest diving board. Also the hotel staff didnt unclog my toilet.

The Delaware Memorial Bridge is impressive. It can be seen for Mikes but I never appreciated the enormity of the bridge until we sailed under it on the Delaware River. It is a great sight that can be seen for miles. The view of the bridge from the New Jersey side on a clear night is beautiful.

Its only getting a two due to the fact that I have to use it to get to work. They have been working on this bridge everyday for the past 20 plus years. It make no sense to have a bridge that is never fully functional and a huge inconvenience.

Review №62

A bridge is a bridge! But this time we took I-295 instead of NJ TPKE. Its easier driving, what with wider roads and more than 2 lanes each way. I didnt feel so claustrophobic not being so close to the car next to us as we passed them or they passed us. Additionally, there are no tolls on 295. Only problem, no rest stops along the way.

MOTORCYCLES ARE CHARGED FULL RATE. (AVERAGE 1/6TH THE WEIGHT OF A CAR). WE ARE SUBSIDIZING LARGER COMMERCIAL VEHICLES.TOLL SHOULD BE BASED ON VEHICLE WEIGHT ONLY.LESS STRAIN ON BRIDGE STRUCTURE AND DAMAGE TO ROAD SURFACE.TRUCKS/BUSES, DO THE MOST DAMAGE TO THE ROAD SURFACE AND LONGEVITY OF THE BRIDGE.LARGER VIBRATIONS WEAKEN THE STRUCTURE AND ROAD SURFACE OVER TIME.

Drove past on Christmas Eve and encountered the toll road. There was no lane with cash acceptance so we drove to the ez pass office. The police officer on duty was incredibly helpful but the manager refused to believe us when we told her there were no booths taking cash, therefore we were forced to drive past the toll. We ended up having to pay extra for the toll.

Review №84

A great and apparently fear-inspiring bridge, these bridges resemble two ultra-steep Walt Whitman Bridges for Philly people. Like all bridges connected to the Garden State you have to pay to get out of New Jersey, but not in - why is it always like that? Oh well.The nearby DuPont chemical works in Deepwater is where leaded gas was invented. Supposedly the Deepwater truck stop is pretty gritty but I cant verify personally.

Best when traffic is good back ups expected due the work being done on I-295 Southbound to enter I-495 and I-95 both North & South bound.It has very narrow lanes.Also Route 13 is being worked on at night.From Rt 141 underpasses to New Castle.

One of better bridges in area. Heads up,when paying Cash for Toll,try and be in middle Lane,coming down because you never know what Toll will be open. Noon is tough time,lots of trucks.

Quite an industrial landscape--a poignant reminder of what our society has become. One lane was closed which was a bit upsetting. However, halfway over was a port-a-potty! Nice to know even when traffic is backed up, you wont be! A bit rusty, but lovely almost-seafoam-green paint job.
