Washington Crossing the Delaware River statue

Highlight • Monument

Washington Crossing the Delaware River statue is located on the corner of River Road and Route 532. This statue is based on Emmanuel Leutze’s famous painting of the nation's first president, George Washington, crossing the Delaware River. The statue was quite a feat to bring to this small town, as it weighs 30 tons. It was carved by a 76-year-old retired limestone sculptor in the 1970s.

Washington Crossing Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The Washington Crossing Bridge spans the Delaware River, connecting the historic Washington Crossing Parks in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This narrow iron truss bridge, built in 1904, accommodates two lanes of traffic with a 3-ton weight limit and a 15 mph speed limit. It has a 3'6" wooden pedestrian walkway, and traffic signals at each end manage the flow of vehicles due to the bridge's narrowness. The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission has recently announced plans to replace the bridge to address safety and operational issues. The new design will feature wider lanes, shoulders, and a pedestrian path, aiming to improve traffic flow and safety while still respecting the area's historical significance.
