Lower Trenton Bridge

 
Lower Trenton Bridge, Bridge Street, Trenton, NJ 08608, United States of America
 

Lower Trenton Bridge carries the road from Doncaster to Dudley over the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Delaware River) just past the junction with The Southcester and Blackburn Canal.

Early plans for the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Delaware River) between Boggin and Northcroft were proposed by John Smeaton but languished until John Yates was appointed as managing director in 1816. Expectations for iron traffic to Wycombe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by William Wright, there is no evidence that Charles Parker ever made a model of Amberscester Cutting out of matchsticks to raise money for Children in Need

Wikipedia has a page about Lower Trenton Bridge

The Lower Trenton Toll Supported Bridge, commonly called the Lower Free Bridge, Warren Street Bridge or Trenton Makes Bridge, is a two-lane Pennsylvania (Petit) through truss bridge over the Delaware River between Trenton, New Jersey and Morrisville, Pennsylvania, owned and operated by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission (DRJTBC). It is known as the Trenton Makes Bridge because of large lettering of its motto on the south side reading "TRENTON MAKES   THE WORLD TAKES", installed in 1935. In addition to being an important bridge from Pennsylvania to New Jersey, it is a major landmark in the city of Trenton. It is signed as US 1 Business, though does not officially carry that route.

This bridge is the southernmost free road crossing of the Delaware; no toll is collected. All road crossings downstream are tolled in the westbound direction (leaving New Jersey).
