“Praise the bridge that carried you over.”
~ George Colman
~ English dramatist
~ 1762 ~1836
As an autumn morning begins to segue into afternoon, traffic crosses the Riverton-Belvidere Toll Supported Bridge on a beautiful mid-October day.
The bridge, which opened in 1904, links Belvidere, New Jersey and Riverton, Pennsylvania and spans the Delaware River, which straddles New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
I shot this from the Riverton side of the bridge as Belvidere lies ahead, with the bridge framed by fall foliage.
A Delaware River Town, Belvidere, one of my very favorite places, was established April 7, 1845 and is a charming Victorian town located on the banks of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers. The town’s name means “beautiful to see” in Italian.
Riverton is part of Pennsylvania’s Slate Belt.
