Bridge Street

The original roadway connecting the Centre Bridge across the Delaware River and the road running along the river's east edge, now N.J. Route 29, was built by the Center Bridge Company and opened for traffic in 1813. In 1850, the eastern portion of this roadway was shifted slightly to align more directly with the Bartles and Van Syckle Tavern, now the Stockton Inn, creating the street's current configuration. As originally laid out, the roadway was 66 feet wide, and that width was maintained when the road was resurveyed in 1850. The Center Bridge Company maintained Bridge Street until 1925, when it was sold to the State of New Jersey.
