This bridge is pretty narrow but it offers many beautiful views
Monica C.

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

Once you get over how high up u are and how thin it is you can certainly appreciate it's beauty. I'm not a fan of heights. Still get chills as I pull off. But definitely worth it.

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.

Traffic. 40 minutes to cross this hell.

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

“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.”

I went on the website -in advance-to arrange some tickets for a free tour for Saturday. There were…read moretwo tour guides there to greet us into the MARGARET R. GRUNDY MEMORIAL MUSEUM. First of all let me say that I highly recommend a tour here. They have free ones and they have paid ones. This was a free tour and it went on for about an hour. First thing we did we walk in the door was use hand sanitizer. All staff and all the guests were masks the entire time because at the time of this post we are still going through the COVID-19 pandemic.))) The tour starts as soon as we enter the room and we get to learn about a family that lived here through the generations and their history and legacy in Bristol. WILLIAM HULME GRUNDY decides to leave Philadelphia and move to this little hamlet on the Delaware River and get in the wool trade. Grundy Brothers and Campion moved their operations to Bristol in 1876. Ends up being quite lucrative and What we get to learn here is the brother and sister story of Joseph and Margaret Grundy. Joseph is sentimental about his namesake , a hero in the civil war. Felt he should make something of his life. Margaret had a rough time with her dad's death & a trip to Europe with her mom didn't exactly heal her broken heart but mom was able to visit some doctors to help her daughter. They traveled the word for a decade! Wow. I think this gave her direction and she sorted out her direction as she returned home to Pennsylvania. She dove into things of ladies of wealth did, yes entertained in her house on the banks for the Delaware... she painted as well as gardened. Can I also state that yes it was fascinating to see the Victorian bathroom. I was very struck to see the excessive use of wallpaper in a home. It accompanied decorative carpeting and curtains. The cherry blossom room was especially cheeky so much so that I felt like as if I was a character in a Roz Chast cartoon . Interesting to see the pageantry of the olden days that really seem modest compared to some other tycoon contemporaries . How nice that Joseph dedicated the museum/family home in his beloved sister's name & shares the history with Bristol and all who visit it! ~*~ One thing I was looking forward to was the getting about their precious Mother's Day card kits. The set is to make a Victorian Mother's Day card! They looked beautiful online! And they had a similar event around Valentine's Day. Also complimentary. Looked so frilly and fancy and precious. Didn't get one but I saw it on the website. The tour guide was enthusiastic in sharing his version of the Grundy Family stories & introduced the rooms. Next door is the Grundy Library. I look forward to seeing it when it's ready...in summer (?!) I would definitely return for another tour. Lots to enjoy in this delightful town. Lots of history and events event just at the Grundy Museum!

Jeff was an absolutely wonderful tour guide. In this day and age wherein most employees are…read moreuninterested in their work, constantly on their phone, and take no pride in their appearance, it was so refreshing to experience a person who was dressed to the nines and obviously has a real passion for the museum and his line of work. Jeff was quite knowledgeable about the home, the Grundy family, and the Victorian Era in general. Many thanks to him for an interesting and engaging afternoon. Keep up the good work!
