Delair Bridge
The Delair Bridge, officially named the Delair Memorial Railroad Drawbridge, is a railroad bridge with vertical-lift section, carrying the New Jersey Transit Atlantic City Line and a former Conrail line, now a shared asset between Norfolk Southern Railway and CSX Transportation. It crosses the Delaware River between PhiladelphiaPennsylvania, and Pennsauken TownshipNew Jersey, just south of the Betsy Ross Bridge. The bridge's southern track is currently reserved for freight traffic, and the northern track is currently reserved for the Atlantic City Line. As part of the upcoming Pennsauken Transit Center project, which will involve building a station complex where the River LINE passes under the Delair Bridge's approach, a station will be constructed on the NJ approach. Since the Atlantic City Line station portion will use both tracks, both tracks will be used for passenger service in the future, with freight traffic also gaining use of both tracks. In December 2011, an $18.5 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant was awarded to South Jersey Port by the United States Department of Transportation for rehabilitation of the bridge.
