The Trenton-Morrisville Toll Bridge is one of three bridges connecting Trenton, New Jersey with Morrisville, Pennsylvania. Opened in 1952, it carries U.S. Route 1 and is owned and operated by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission. The bridge was not a toll bridge until 1992.

The Trenton-Morrisville Toll Bridge is currently undergoing renovation work to expand and rehabilitate the Trenton-Morrisville Toll Bridge and auxiliary structures. Improvements include 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, awarded to Conti Enterprises Incorporated, is expected to conclude by the end of 2009[1].
