Additional information about Ben Franklin Bridge
The Benjamin Franklin Bridge (also known simply as the Ben Franklin Bridge), originally named the Delaware River Bridge, is a suspension bridge across the Delaware River connecting Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Camden, New Jersey. Named for American statesman Benjamin Franklin, the bridge is owned and operated by the Delaware River Port Authority. The chief engineer was Ralph Modjeski, its design engineer was Leon Moisseiff and the supervising architect was Paul Philippe Cret. At its completion on July 1, 1926, its 533-metre span made it the world's largest suspension bridge, a distinction it would hold until the opening of the Ambassador Bridge in 1929.
