Commodore Barry Bridge

The Commodore Barry Bridge replaced the historic Chester Ferry in the early 1970's and provided quick access from Chester to New Jersey shore points and Atlantic City via route 322. Since that time businesses have flocked to locations on both sides of the river, taking advantage of close proximity to local rail, shipping, air and highway transportation.
