The Betsy Ross Bridge, also known as the Ross Memorial Bridge, is a continuous steel truss bridge spanning the Delaware River from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Pennsauken, New Jersey. It was built from 1969 to 1974, and opened in April 1976, during the American Bicentennial Year. It was originally planned to be named as the "Delair Bridge", after a paralleling vertical lift bridge owned by Pennsylvania Railroad (which is now used by Conrail and New Jersey Transit's Atlantic City Line), but was instead later named for Betsy Ross, a Philadelphia seamstress and reputed creator of the first American flag in 1776, making it the first automotive bridge named for a woman in America and the second bridge overall (after Iowa's Boone High Bridge was renamed the Kate Shelley High Bridge in 1912).

  • Die Betsy Ross Bridge ist eine sechsspurige Straßenbrücke über den Delaware River zwischen dem nordöstlichen Stadtteil Bridesburg von Philadelphia in Pennsylvania und dem Pennsauken Township in New Jersey. Sie führt die New Jersey Route 90, die in Pennsylvania an die Interstate 95 und in New Jersey an den angeschlossen ist. Die Brücke wird von der Delaware River Port Authority betrieben und ist in Richtung Westen nach Philadelphia mautpflichtig. Das durchschnittliche Verkehrsaufkommen liegt täglich bei circa 45.000 Fahrzeugen. Die Brücke ist nach Betsy Ross benannt, die einer Legende nach 1776 angeblich die erste Flagge der Vereinigten Staaten nähte, was heute allerdings angezweifelt wird. (de)
