The Tacony-Palmyra Bridge is an arch bridge with a double drawbridge connecting Route 73 in Palmyra, New Jersey to the Tacony section of Philadelphia. The bridge has a total length of 3,659 feet (1,115 meters), and spans 2,324 feet (708 meters) across the Delaware River. It was designed by Ralph Modjeski. After a year and a half of construction, it opened in 1929 to replace the local ferry service. Though it originally began as a four-lane bridge, the lanes were later reduced to three wider lanes (two toll lanes into Philadelphia, and one free lane into New Jersey).
The bridge is owned and maintained by the Burlington County Bridge Commission.
