From Wikipedia:
The Delaware Memorial Bridge is a dual-span suspension bridge crossing the Delaware River. The toll bridges carry Interstate 295 and U.S. Route 40 and is also the link between Delaware and New Jersey. The bridge was designed by the firm known today as HNTB with consulting help from engineer Othmar Ammann, whose other designs include the Walt Whitman Bridge (which is similar in appearance to each of the Delaware Memorial Bridge spans, except for being a single span with more lanes) and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. It is also one of only two crossings of the Delaware River with both U.S. Highway and Interstate Highway designations, the other being the Benjamin Franklin Bridge.
The bridges provide a regional connection for long-distance travelers. While not a part of Interstate 95, they connect two parts of the highway: the Delaware Turnpike (Interstate 95 in Delaware) on the south side with the New Jersey Turnpike (later Interstate 95 in New Jersey) on the north side. They also connect Interstate 495, U.S. Route 13, and Route 9 in New Castle, Delaware with U.S. Route 130 in Pennsville Township, New Jersey (at the settlement of Deepwater, New Jersey).
The bridges are dedicated to those from both New Jersey and Delaware who died in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Persian Gulf War. On the Delaware side of the bridge is a War Memorial, visible from the northbound-side lanes. The toll facility is operated by the Delaware River and Bay Authority.
The Delaware Memorial Bridge is the southernmost and the largest fixed vehicular crossing of the Delaware River. It is also the only fixed vehicular crossing between Delaware and New Jersey. However, at Fort Mott, New Jersey, there is a small amount of land on the New Jersey side of the river that is part of the State of Delaware, and thus there are pedestrian crossings in between those states, but not spanning the river. The Cape May-Lewes Ferry provides an alternate route between travelers from New Jersey and the Northeastern states to southern Delaware.

If you look off to the far left on clear days you can see the Philadelphia skyline.

I love this bridge. It’s typical Delaware to me.. it looks it was built by the Army Corps of Engineers. Strong, efficient and minimalist… just like you’d expect from something built in a state with no sales taxes and a corporate tax haven. Gets the job done without a lot of frills.

[@leonation89]

I do too I'm obsessed with this bridge lol.

This was the very first twin span suspension bridge crossed back in my childhood. Design wise, it basically gave me the thought that these were the "Twin Brother" Bridges of the Walt Whitman Bridge. Most in part that their towers look pretty much the same between the three (but the "Twins" being much narrower, of course). Seeing them from I-95 in Wilmington will always be one of my favorite views next to crossing it.

I traveled across the bridge a few times visiting relatives in Delaware. You can see several miles out, quite the view.

[@marvingooden2232]

Fun Fact: The two bridges are not identical. One single bridge was built first and another was built alongside the original as traffic volume increased in the area.

Or coming southbound looking to the right
