This is sad news. The historic Washington Crossing Bridge is set to be replaced. In my opinion, the narrow bridge keeps traffic down in the park area and a modern replacement could be built at the sight of the former Yardley-Wilburtha crossing that was never replaced after the '55 flood.

I'm sentimental and would like to see the bridge saved but unfortunately progress will take its toll.
