Janet Kacewich: Love that bridge- it’s fun to walk across it.

1904 was still in the horse and buggy days, so streetcars were important.

Christopher R Hernandez posted four photos with the comment: "New Hope-Lambertville Toll Supported (Free) Bridge, Delaware River.  Not to be confused with the toll bridge that carries Route 202 about 1 mile up river. Opened in 1904."
