The Delaware Memorial Bridge is a set of twin suspension bridges 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 famous engineer Othmar Ammann, whose other designs include the Walt Whitman Bridge (which is similar in appearance, except for the additional travel lanes and shorter center span) and Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
The bridges also provide connection with the New Jersey Turnpike, and U.S. Route 130 in Pennsville Township, New Jersey (at the settlement of Deepwater, New Jersey) on the north side and Interstate 95 (Delaware Turnpike), Interstate 495, U.S. Route 13, and Route 9 in New Castle, Delaware.
The bridges are dedicated to the war dead of both New Jersey and Delaware, thus its name. 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.
