The bridge, part of an $8 million project approved in 1967,[4] opened on July 22, 1971, in ceremonies attended by Governor of New Jersey William T. Cahill.[5] Following completion, the bridge was connected to local routes via temporary roads. Not until 1975 was US 202 realigned so as to incorporate the new toll bridge.[6][7]
The New Hope–Lambertville Toll Bridge has a total length of 1,682 feet (513 m) and contains ten spans. It is constructed with steel girders and a reinforced concrete deck. The bridge's piers are stone faced. The toll gate is located on the Pennsylvania approach. While the DRJTBC states that it has a total of 8 toll lanes,[8] that number has shrunk to 4 toll lanes since the bridge was refurbished in 2003. This refurbishment replaced the old toll plaza with a new one, and it eliminated the toll lanes for those crossing into New Jersey.[9]
Tolls are collected Southbound (NJ to PA) at a 4-lane gate on the Pennsylvania side. There is no toll collected Northbound.
As of January 7, 2024, the pay-by-plate toll for automobiles is $3.00; cars with E-ZPass pay $1.50. Toll rates for trucks range from $9 to $35.[10]
