Delaware & New Jersey - Delaware Memorial Bridge (2019)
The Delaware Memorial Bridge is a twin suspension bridge crossing the Delaware River. The toll bridges carry Interstate 295 and U.S. Route 40 between Delaware and New Jersey. The bridge was designed by the firm known today as HNTB with consulting help from engineer Othmar Ammann, whose other designs include the Walt Whitman Bridge (which is similar in appearance, except for the fact that it is a single span) and Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. It is also one of only two crossings of the Delaware River with both U.S. Highway and Interstate Highway designations, the other being the Benjamin Franklin Bridge.
The bridges provide a regional connection for long-distance travelers. While not a part of Interstate 95, they connect two parts of the highway: the Delaware Turnpike (Interstate 95 in Delaware) on the south side with the New Jersey Turnpike (later Interstate 95 in New Jersey) on the north side. They also connect Interstate 495, U.S. Route 13, and Route 9 in New Castle, Delaware with U.S. Route 130 in Pennsville Township, New Jersey (at the settlement of Deepwater, New Jersey).
The bridges are dedicated to those from both New Jersey and Delaware who died in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Persian Gulf War. On the Delaware side of the bridge is a War Memorial, visible from the northbound-side lanes. The toll facility is operated by the Delaware River and Bay Authority.
The Delaware Memorial Bridge is the southernmost fixed vehicular crossing of the Delaware River and the only fixed vehicular crossing between Delaware and New Jersey. However, at Fort Mott, N.J., there is a small amount of land on the New Jersey side of the river that is part of the State of Delaware, and thus there are pedestrian crossings in between those states, but not spanning the river. The Cape May–Lewes Ferry provides an alternate route between travelers from New Jersey and the Northeastern States to southern Delaware.

Top 5 Most Famous Bridges In The United States You Absolutely Must See
Top 5 Most Famous Bridges In The United States You Absolutely Must See
Number 1 : The Brooklyn Bridge,
The Brooklyn Bridge, which was completed in 1883 and connects Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River in New York City, is arguably one of the most famous bridges in the eastern United States.
The Brooklyn Bridge is a suspension bridge that measures 5,988 feet long, and its longest span is 1,595 feet.
Number 2 : George Washington Bridge,
Another New York City bridge that is a must-see for all road travelers, the George Washington Bridge spans the Hudson River and connects New Jersey and the borough of Manhattan.
This bridge has a total length of 4,757 feet and a maximum single span of 3,609 feet.
Originally, when the double-decker suspension bridge opened in 1931, it had just 1 level. However, as the U.S. interstate system was being developed, a second level was added to the George Washington Bridge in 1962 and the bridge became part of Interstate 95, which connects Florida to Maine.
The last time I traveled over this bridge, which was in 2000, the World Trade Center and Empire State Building could be seen peeking over the Manhattan skyline to the east and south. The world’s largest free-flying American flag, measuring 90 feet long by 60 feet wide, now hangs off the George Washington Bridge in honor of 9/11.
Number 3 : Delaware Memorial Bridge,
Crossing the Delaware River and connecting Wilmington, Delaware to south New Jersey, the Delaware Memorial Bridge is another grand bridge that, like the George Washington Bridge, belongs to Interstate 95.
The Delaware Memorial Bridge was originally opened in 1951 as a single span, but in 1968 the current westbound span was completed. This steel suspension bridge has a maximum span of 2,150 feet and is 10,796 feet long.
Number 4 : The Chesapeake Bay Bridge,
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge was first built in 1952 and is also called William Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial Bridge, in honor of the man who served as Maryland’s governor when the span was originally dedicated.
The bridge connects the eastern and western shores of Maryland and was expanded in 1973, when the current westbound span was constructed.
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge, which is roughly 5 miles long and 186 feet at its highest point, has long been considered as one of the scariest bridges in the world. Why? When it storms there (and violent storms aren’t uncommon in eastern Maryland), it can be nearly impossible to see any land when you’re on top of the bridge! Thankfully, there is a Chesapeake Bay Bridge driving assistance service available for those with gephyrophobia – the fear of bridges.
Number 5 : Golden Gate Bridge,
If the Brooklyn Bridge is the most popular span on the East Coast, then the Golden Gate Bridge easily takes the top spot among the most famous bridges on the West Coast.
The Golden Gate Bridge was opened in 1937 and has been designated as one of the Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The main span of the bridge measures an impressive 4,200 feet and has the longest main span of any suspension bridge in the world until 1964.
One irony that many people note about the Golden Gate Bridge is that, despite its name, the bridge isn’t actually golden. Why’s that? The bridge spans the Golden Gate strait, which is a 1-mile wide channel between San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. For the record, the Golden Gate Bridge is painted in a color called International Orange.

Delaware Memorial & Verrazono bridges
On the way to JFK airport from Newark, Delaware I took the video of Delaware memorial and Verrazono bridges. Enjoy the short video.
Delaware Memorial Bridge Open Again Following Gas Leak
No one was hurt but cars were stuck bumper-to-bumper for hours.
Driving from New Jersey (Delaware Memorial Bridge) to Ladson, South Carolina FAST!!!!!!!!!
Some stats for this video:
Actual real time of the video as I was driving is 9 hours, 40 minutes, 24 seconds. Original video was recorded in Full HD With a GoPro Session 5 @29.97 frames per second. I had the GoPro connected to an external battery pack so the battery will not die after 1 hour and 30 min as it does normally in that small camera. During the time-lapse creation process I took 1 frame out of each second of the entire video. That's 31970 frames! The software dumped images like this, frame 1, frame 31, frame 61, frame 91 and so on for the entire video. Then I combined each frame into a 60 frames per second 1080p video and this is the result. So each second in this video is approximately 2 minutes of actual driving. It took a very long time to create the entire time-lapse.
Since I converted pictures to video, I added music from copyright free YouTube music library that was at least 5 minutes long. I could not find an exact time matching video length that wasn't complete crap so this is the best I could find. Maybe in the future I will find a better tune. My favorite part of this video is at sunset when the sky look like it's burning.
