The Burlington–Bristol Bridge is a truss bridge with a lift span crossing the Delaware River from Burlington, New Jersey to Bristol Township, Pennsylvania in the United States.
[3] The center span is lifted by the action of two large concrete slabs of slightly greater weight than the lifted span, which block traffic when fully down.
They are set in downwards motion to lift the bridge by a very slight action of the motors, as gravity does the rest.
A municipal garage is located underneath the rising road after the tollbooths.
During times when the bridge is up for a boat passing underneath, large traffic backups are created on Keim Boulevard, the road that functions as the route to the bridge from U.S. Route 130 (US 130) and Broad Street.
