I found this photo among some pictures belonging to my dad from shortly before he shipped out to Korea in 1953. It's almost definitely somewhere in the Northeast, and based on accompanying photos likely somewhere between New York and Washington. Anyone care to speculate where?
Looks like a bridge downstream from the toll booth that curves to the left. Could be a clue.
It's almost certainly not the New Jersey Turnpike based on overall appearance. It can't be I-95 in Maryland or the Delaware Turnpike based on the time period you cited, and while the first span of the Delaware Memorial Bridge opened in 1951, it seems pretty clear that's not it for several reasons. It can't be the Baltimore Beltway's Key Bridge because that wasn't built until the 1970s.
What other tolled facilities were there at that time period that would have involved some sort of bridge crossing?
Pretty sure this is the previous US 1 Byp bridge over the Piscataqua River:
