Never heard of or been through this bridge before until last night. This bridge is not wide enough to have two lanes of traffic going through it.
My passenger side mirror got busted in because of how little space there was when opposing traffic is present. Thankfully this happened with my beater car so I care much less but still really annoying enough to make me find this particular bridge to write a review.

Let me start by saying this is coming from a pedestrian point of view. This is one of the unique bridge crossings in which pedestrian have it much easier than any car. Watching cars start and stop, driving extra carefully so as not to hit an oncoming car is a sight to behold from the bridge on two feet. Be sure to look down whilst walking across to see the turtles sunbathing. If crossing to the NJ side, a walking/biking trail allows for continued exercise on a quiet, well maintained path.

The Washington Crossing Bridge is one of those places that's more about the experience than the destination.
Crossing the Delaware on a narrow steel bridge with views of the river and the surrounding countryside is a reminder to slow down and enjoy the ride. The bridge itself has a lot of character and serves as a connection to both local history and some of the best backroads in the area.
Whether you're out for a scenic drive, a motorcycle ride, or just exploring the area, it's worth taking the time to cross. It's a small piece of history that still serves its purpose while offering some great views along the way.
I'll definitely be back the next time I'm looking to take the long way home.

The bridge is fine. Natural selection has failed us, though. The GIANT sign that says “no wide vehicles” MEANS YOU- extra large trucks and SUVS. Yes, that means your Suburban, Ram, Silverado, etc. if you know you purchased an oversized vehicle don’t take this bridge! Side note to normal people- the ones who take these cars on the bridge also NEVER think to put in their mirrors. All the brain power went to purchasing a compensation vehicle and that’s all they’ve got.

The location of one of the most historically significant events of the American Revolution this bridge is one of my favorite ways of crossing the Delaware River. Warning ‼️ The bridge is very narrow and some side mirror bumping should be expected.
