Description: The Lower Trenton Bridge, also known as the Trenton Makes Bridge, is a historic steel truss bridge that spans the Delaware River, connecting Morrisville, Pennsylvania, and Trenton, New Jersey. Originally constructed in 1806 as a wooden structure, it was later rebuilt with steel in 1928 to accommodate modern transportation needs. The bridge is renowned for its iconic neon sign that reads "TRENTON MAKES THE WORLD TAKES," a slogan highlighting Trenton's industrial past. This sign, first installed in 1935 and updated with LED lights in 2005, has become a symbol of the region's rich manufacturing heritage. The bridge not only serves as a vital transportation link but also stands as a testament to the area's historical and economic significance.
