Opened to traffic on December 1, 1952, following brief ribbon-cutting ceremonies that were conducted on the bridge and presided over by Henry T. Shelly, a vice president of the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission and former mayor of Milford, New Jersey, the new Trenton-Morrisville Toll Bridge was first crossed by automobiles driven by a railroad conductor and a salesman, Joseph E. Wooley, of Bristol, Pennsylvania.[5][6]
This bridge's toll plaza was originally configured to collect tolls from both the northbound and southbound travel lanes. Today, tolls are collected only from vehicles travelling southbound (entering Pennsylvania/leaving New Jersey).
Beginning in 2006, the Trenton–Morrisville Toll Bridge underwent renovation work to expand and rehabilitate the bridge and auxiliary structures. Improvements included the addition of a third northbound lane on the main bridge, installing a new soundwall along Northbound US 1 in Pennsylvania as well as lengthening deceleration lanes. This $67 million project was designed by the Louis Berger Group and awarded to Conti Enterprises Incorporated, and concluded in 2009.[7]
