Ben Franklin Bridge 100th Anniversary Celebration
For a century, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge has connected Philadelphia and Camden, linking communities, supporting commerce, and moving millions of people across the Delaware River. Join us as we celebrate this historic milestone and look ahead to the next 100 years.
