U.S. Highway 1

Special thanks goes to Doug Kerr and Lou Corsaro for the road enthusiast meeting of October 3, 2004 involving exploration of the Old Lincoln Highway Poquessing Creek Bridge.

The highway guide for U.S. 1 is split between two components:

U.S. 1 Business North
U.S. 1 Business (Lincoln Highway) northbound at the U.S. 1 freeway near Fallsington. U.S. 1 follows a four-lane freeway from Trenton and Morrisville westward to Langhorne and Oakford. The Lincoln Highway sees a northbound on-ramp near its intersection with New Tyburn Road and Woolston Drive. The on-ramp serves the Fairless Hills interchange of U.S. 1. Photo taken 10/03/04.
U.S. 1 Business South
Lincoln Highway westbound within the borough of Penndel on U.S. 1 Business southbound. A Pennsylvania Turnpike trailblazer guides motorists from the Pennsylvania 413 & 513 (Bellevue Avenue) intersection westward to the U.S. 1 freeway and its junction with Interstate 276 at Bensalem. Photo taken 10/03/04.
U.S. 1 Business southbound separates from northbound at the U.S. 1 freeway. The northbound beginning of highway enters the scene from the left. U.S. 1 Business (Lincoln Highway) passes under the freeway ahead before merging onto the U.S. 1 mainline and ending. Photo taken 10/03/04.
U.S. 1 Business splits with the Old Lincoln Highway ahead of the ramp onto U.S. 1 south. The freeway for the federal highway carries the Lincoln Highway name southwest to Philadelphia and Roosevelt Boulevard. Old Lincoln Highway meanwhile parallels the four-lane highway alongside southbound between Oakford and Bensalem Township. Photo taken 10/03/04.
Scenes Pertaining to U.S. 1
The Old Lincoln Highway intersects U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard / Lincoln Highway) just north of the Philadelphia city line. The original alignment of U.S. 1 dead ends at an abandoned crossing of the Poquessing Creek and Philadelphia County line. The highway continues north of U.S. 1 into Oakford otherwise. Photo taken 10/03/04.
The Old Lincoln Highway southbound ends at an abandoned stone arch bridge crossing of the Poquessing Creek at the Philadelphia city / county line. The bridge deck is overgrown with grass and weeds. The structure otherwise is fairly in tact. Photo taken 10/03/04.
