This joint resolution commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, which spans the Delaware River and connects Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with Camden, New Jersey. Originally named the Delaware River Bridge, it was constructed over four years using 70,851 tons of steel and opened to traffic on July 1, 1926, at which time it was the world's longest suspension bridge. Managed by the Delaware River Port Authority, the bridge serves as a crucial transportation link, providing vehicle lanes, a transit line operated by the Port Authority Transit Corporation (PATCO), and a walkway for pedestrians and cyclists. In 2024, it facilitated 34.1 million vehicles, highlighting its importance to the region.

The resolution recognizes the bridge not only as vital infrastructure but also as a significant cultural symbol, frequently featured in films and television. Its legacy reflects a blend of historical significance, engineering excellence, and aesthetic appeal, making it an enduring icon for New Jersey. The resolution calls for the Governor and the Legislature of New Jersey to officially commemorate this milestone and directs that copies of the resolution be sent to the Delaware River Port Authority's leadership.
