The bridge carries Bridge Street, connecting New Jersey Route 12 in Frenchtown, Hunterdon County, New Jersey with Pennsylvania Route 32 in Uhlerstown, located in Tinicum Township, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The existing bridge has a roadway width of 16 feet 6 inches. A pedestrian walkway is supported on steel cantilever brackets. The bridge maintains a fifteen mile per hour speed limit. The town today known as Frenchtown, New Jersey was once intended to be called Alexandria, after one of its original owners and developers. The land was sold in 1776 to one Thomas Lowrey, a speculator from nearby Flemington who built a gristmill and a sawmill. Eventually it took its name in honor of Paul Henri Mallet-Prevost, a Swiss fugitive from the French Revolution who purchased the land in 1794. Mallet-Prevost spoke French and the town became know as French's Town, then Frenchtown.
