I spent quite some time processing these interesting views which will bring back many memories for the numerous South Trenton visitors to this website, as well as those of us who drove over that bridge before the re-alignment in the 1960's. The top photo shows the driver's view of the entrance to the city of Trenton via the Morrisville bridge. The next photo is an enlargement of the sign seen in the top photo which lists the speed limits of the city in various neighborhoods. The next photo is an extraction showing the Mercer Bag and Burlap Company building. It was my recollection that this company was located on John Fitch Way as one entered the city from the south. And finally below, cars have left the Morrisville bridge and are heading toward South Broad and Bridge Street.

I CAN'T RECALL THE TOLL ON THE YARLEY BRIDGE, WAS IT 2 CENTS IN THOSE DAYS? THAT WAS HOW WE CALLED THE TWO BRIDGES, ONE WAS THE FREE BRIDGE AND THE OTHER COST YOU MONEY.BOTH BRIDGES WERE VERY BUSY AROUND JULY 4TH, PEOPLE GOING INTO PENNA TO BUY FIREWORKS. THAT YARDLEY BRIDGE WAS REALLY NARROW. REGARDS.
