Trenton Makes Night Lower Trenton Free Bridge at night Public Domain Photo |
I have some pictures of this bridge here that can be posted if you like. Also, it should be noted that this bridge used to be four lanes some time ago, two lanes in each truss "barrel." Also, the bridge was just rehabilitated again in 2005, making both directions of traffic to use on barrel at a time. The bridge house has since been replaced too, after a car crashed through the old one.
The bridge is posted at a five ton weight limit, despite its hefty structure compared to other local truss bridges.
Here's the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission's page on the bridge:

The first picture (7783) is going over the steel girder approach over NJ Route 29, leaving Jersey and going into PA.
The second picture (7784) is going across the first span.
The third picture (7785) is looking upstream between the truss spans at the pedestrian railing and the concrete road barrier. The Calhoun Street Bridge can barely be seen in the background.
The fourth picture (7786) is between the first and second spans, headed into PA.
The last picture (7787) is the portal on the PA side.
