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
Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, and
Pennsauken Township,
New 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.
