The Route 179 and PA 179 bridge across the Delaware River is a lot like the Washington Crossing Bridge (CR 546 / PA 532) to the south. The span has a metal bridge deck, a 15 mph speed limit, and includes a sidewalk along the south side. Decorative light fixtures illuminate the roadway and sidewalks throughout the crossing.
