It really is such a pretty bridge. And I definitely love looking at the views as much as it will allow. Very grateful we have this way to pass over! And I'm grateful to the bridge designers and all the crew that helped make this become possible. And thanks to the other nice drivers on the road today and all the maintenance people that made a safe travel day today. read more

I use this bridge quite often when I go to PA and come back to Jersey... I have used it's sister bridge the Tacony Palmyra bridge also but not as much... This bridge is narrow but I've been across bridges that are worse... If narrow bridges bother you don't use this one... You can reach out and touch the vehicle going the other direction as you pass by... The toll used to be on both sides going out of Jersey and coming into Jersey... That was many years ago... read more

Holy crap this bridge scared the heck out of me and my elderly family members. Maybe the view from the bridge is more intimidating than it actually is. But this is an 'open concept' at a whole other level, LOL. The side rails do not appear to be waist high. Like a really strong high wind can take you over the top. My GPS guided me in this direction, I was visiting Burlington, NJ. As often as I have driven to New Jersey the Burlington Bristol Bridge was never on my radar, it's officially off! read more

OH LORD, THIS BRIDGE IS SO SCARY. Lanes are terrifyingly narrow, and it feels shaky and scary and as you go over the bridge, I whisper OMMMMMMM in tune to the sound the tires make as you go over the part of the bridge over the water. But then you make it to the other side and you are still alive, so there's that. read more

This is a pretty narrow bridge but it offers some of the most magnificent views of Burlington island as well as the sunset and it also offers picturesque views of the sunset over the water, just like tonight it looks like cotton candy in the sky and the beauty of the Lord helps us appreciate our beautiful day read more

They always shut the bridge down during rush hour. Terrible management. Worst bridge I've ever used. ​

The Burlington-Bristol Bridge is a narrow truss bridge with a lift span crossing the Delaware River from Burlington NJ to Bristol Township. The bridge opened to traffic on May 1, 1931 and carries NJ 413 and PA 413. The two-lane bridge has a total length of 2,301 feet, and is operated by the Burlington County Bridge Commission. It is a major route to Philadelphia for the area's residents, and is a preferred bridge by bus drivers due to relatively low tolls. There was really only one reason to use this Bridge when I lived in the area. Roger Wilco and its convenient and cheaper selection of adult beverages. And I was always on the lookout for Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board agents who were trying to protect their tax revenues and their politically protected jobs. read more

If you hate your job and is looking for an excuse to be late all the time, take this bridge and I guarantee you that 8 times out of 10, you will be at least half an hour late to work. This bridge is narrow, expensive, congested, and frustrating to be on. The bridge opens often and usually during rush hour (between 8am to 6pm). If it's not open, it's under construction and causes you to be delayed even more. Going to PA, it is a four lane merge into one so you can imagine how dangerous that is, let everyone go and you will never get home, try to be aggressive and you will fall into the river. This bridge will continue to be the same hell on earth while prices continues to rise. If you have someone that you want to die or get fired, I highly recommend taking this bridge. read more

This drawbridge bridge is run by Burlington County, like the TP. It was the fourth longest drawbridge in the world when it was built in the 1930s. It took a Jefferson 5 cent coin each way when I was a kid. Now it's four bucks, and they paired down fifty percent of their labour costs.... read more

It's an alright bridge but if you hate narrow ones stay off this one! It is small and if you get to it when it's opening never mind you'll be there for hours!!!!! read more

If you enjoy narrow gauge vertical lift truss bridges from the early part of the 20th Century, the Burlington-Bristol Bridge is for you. I cross it several times a month on my way to Mt. Holly, NJ from Bucks County, Pa, but I keep both hands on the wheel to be able to drive in the single lane across the Delaware River, and can't "check in" often on Yelp. Take my word for this. While true that the drive is challenging, it is also somewhat exhilarating. From the apex the view up and down the Mighty Delaware is large. The waterfronts of historic Bristol and Burlington are in full sight. Burlington Island to the north sits midstream with the ruins of a 19th Century amusement park slumbering in the shade, its once proud roller coaster a skeleton after a fire destroyed the park. To the south the rust of other Industrial Age factories likewise lie in ruin, or continue to operate and belch waste out of decayed smokestacks. The engineering involved in the design of the lift mechanisms was invented by the Romans, but is still the height of expertise two thousand years later. Watching the megaton slabs of concrete lower from the twin towers, and cause the lift of the central roadway with pulleys and cable, is also an amazement. If I wasn't in such a rush to get to court I might really marvel at this human feat. As it is, it is a very cool way to be delayed by forces beyond my control. If time is not an insurmountable issue, there are great places in both towns that gave their names to this span, where meal and drink can be secured in its very shadow. read more

This bridge is in the northern part of where I grew up at.You take it to go to Franklin Mills, Willow Grove & New Hope. I remember when it was .10 cent to cross over this bridge, now its $2.00 or $3.00 . It's very narrow, one lane going , one lane coming. Passes by Mother's Kitchen, & Roman Haas once your'e on the Pa side. Great way to connect to Northeast Phila, but it can get congested , when there is boat -bridge will open, delays everything!!!Peak times -rush hour, bridge opening the worse. But it is what it is., small ass bridge. read more

Not for the faint of heart, this narrow trestle of a bridge spans the icy waters (if it happens to be winter) of the Delaware River below, getting you from point A in NJ (and charging you to escape the state!) to point B in PA (which is only more than happy to welcome you without a toll on their end). It's one of the cheaper bridges in the southern part of NJ connecting one to PA, but that convenience comes at a possible cost: you may find yourself waiting for a bridge opening. read more

This bridge is interesting on many levels. It's so narrow that you have a 40% chance of side swiping a car coming the opposite direction. It's only 2 lanes so it's backed up pretty much every rush hour. The middle section actually lifts up to allow large ships to pass under, neat to watch.....once. The toll attendants sell beer which is cool read more

SHITIEST BRIDGE! Cost you 4$ now! Damn bridge opens and you they raised the toll from $2 to 4$? I can cross the betsy ross and a few others for $5 and it wont open! The bridge looks like hell and all rusted up so what is the $4 for? I know not for restoring the bridge. read more
