The Pennsylvania Bridge stretches over the Delaware River, connecting New Jersey to its neighbor Pennsylvania, and it's commonly referred to as the Trenton Makes Bridge because of the large lettering on the side that reads "TRENTON MAKES THE WORLD TAKES". The two-lane truss bridge is one of the city's major landmarks, and it's particularly picturesque at night when the sign is illuminated with neon lights. It was built in its current form in 1928, but the original bridge on this site was constructed in 1806, making it the first bridge to cross the Delaware River.
